VST Quad Curve EQ!

I love the Quad Curve EQ, but it's terribly annoying only being able to use one instance in the ProChannel.  Allowing for multiple instances in the ProChannel would be great, whereby one could cut problematic frequencies before hitting a compressor, then add another EQ after the compressor to sweeten/boost frequencies.  This is a very common technique and I find it strange that such a comprehensive DAW like Sonar does not allow for this, unless of course a third party plugin is used instead.
 
Even better than multiple instances within the ProChannel would be a VST version of the Quad Curve EQ.  While the ProChannel is great, it can get a bit cumbersome and cluttered with large projects so I like to use it for console emulation on the tracks and maybe more detailed work on buses, but for track-by-track effects I prefer to use the FX bins a la Pro Tools.  The Inspector window helps if one wants to keep the ProChannel collapsed, but again that's still valuable real estate that could be used for the console view.  Having the Quad Curve EQ as a VST plugin would not only allow for multiple instances in a single track/bus, but it would also allow for multiple open/movable plugin windows.  If a person mixed entirely with the ProChannel, great.  If the ProChannel is used as a background process and the FX bins are used primarily, great.  A standalone VST of the Quad Curve EQ would solve both problems.
 
Cakewalk - please create a VST version of the Quad Curve EQ, or at the very least allow for multiple instances within the ProChannel!

    I'd like this feature because I'd rather use the Quad EQ in the FX bin instead of the ProChannel because I'd like to have it in a floating window.

    It ought to be easy, if Cake will do it.  PC effects are VSTs, just with extra instructions so they fit into the PC channel.  But of course, that distracts from PC, which is a selling point.
     
    If you need a second EQ you can use Sonitus or Blue Tube in the FX bin.  You can also add another EQ within the PC.  The only thing you can't have is a 2nd Quad Curve.

    Don't expect a VST any time soon. This is a USP for Sonar much like Drum Replacer,and it looks like Cakewalk's strategy is to expand on this philosophy as a priority.

    Second instance would be nice. Also I'd like to be able to remove it from PC. On certain tracks I don't use PC. I want an empty PC-lane at a glance when I expand tracks view.

    !! Even more than all that I would like DETACHABLE flyout!! I want two of them opened on second monitor and just being there all the time allowing instant modification to the corresponding tracks. If two instances per track were allowed that would also make ideal A/B comparison possible without doing complete mix-recall back and forth.

    Tracking: Sonar Platinum (X3 Producer, X2 studio, X1 expanded, 8.3) (64bit)
    System: Win10 Pro (64bit), Asus  P8Z77 V Le Plus, I7-3770k, 16GB Ram, SSD System drive, Raid1 Recording & Backup drive, VS-700 Set, TC Konnekt 48
    Instruments: Roland Juno Stage, Kawai CA5, Washburn X50Pro, Blackstar-One100, Merida,...
