What limiter to use?

I just tried out George Yohng's free W1 Limiter. How does this free one compare with other commercial limiters? Can you hear the difference?

I doubt very much you'll ever hear a difference between two limiters with the same settings applied. I'd go so far as to bet my salary on it. Even then when you did I'd wager again that it was psychoacoustic effects and not actual audible difference.

not true, if i push the ableton limiter to even 3db it drastically does something different to the sound then my UAD limiter does. I'll see if i can upload a clip tomorrow
