In my opinion, the value of the $100 update to SoundSoap Pro 2 was negligible, and I've gotten really tired of the artifacts I get with BIAS if I lean on it at all. My first major software purchase was BIAS SoundSoap Pro. I got the MR Suite for $150 after purchasing the PS5. Also, if you buy one suite, the other products become HEAVILY discounted. I picked up that tip from the Digi User Conference about a year ago. In addition to the Master Restoration suite, I've also purchased the Power Suite 5, which includes a multiband compressor that works wonders on certain types of noise. I love Wave Arts' products as an inexpensive option. Though next year when I upgrade my Waves and grab the DNS plug I will rely mostly on the Waves plug-ins and sell my RX.
I personally own Waves Restoration and Izotop RX.
The new Waves DNS plug-in is in my opinion 95% as powerful as the Ceder box but does not require external processing and can be used on as many tracks as you like, where the Ceder is limited to an AES pair. The king of ambiance/dialogue cleanup for years has been the Ceder DNS, which is extremely powerful and efficient in DSP usage as it is an external box, which is probably also its greatest weakness as you cannot use it unless you have an interface that can handle AES in/outs. When I have a large project with a large amount of pops and clicks I revert to insert versions of X-Click and X-Noise. Waves Restoration is very powerful as both plug-ins and an audio-suite application. The stand alone version is absolutely amazing though the plugin-in version is not as powerful and requires an extreme amount of DSP. Izotope RX is probably the best bang for the buck. I have been lucky enough to have used almost every product in the arsenal and there is no one-stop noise removal tool in my opinion.
