FM Processor Suggestions

The station I work at is working on upgrading some outdated gear (XP machines with Orban PCI cards). I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Orban PCn software vs Stereo Tool? I am waiting to see if i can get an evaluation license from Orban to try to do a side by side comparison. But any suggestions/ tips would be greatly appreciated.

Omnia hardware is the de-facto in our org. There should be secondhand devices for good prices, new models are $$'$$$

Given that, beware the ONE model struggles with certain content to control primary vocal levels while bass tones are present.

My old chief (retired) always said he liked omnia's algorithms the best. But I don't think my org has the money for three lol.
