Ozone 6 Advanced - Standalone Mastering

I took advantage of that upgrade offer from JRR Shop and am now preparing to master a new song/mix.
 
Previously, I would load my exported mix track wav file and a reference track wav file into a new project in Sonar and master with Ozone 5 and/or individual plugins I've picked up along the way.
 
But, with Ozone 6 Advanced you can load multiple files and use other VST's in the mastering chain as well.  I guess iZotope is doing what IK Multimedia did with the T-RackS suite, except that you can use whatever plugins you like and just use Ozone as a host DAW.
 
I know folks were disappointed about some features of Ozone 6, but the Advanced version seems like an excellent mastering solution.  I believe you can even load older Ozone modules, like the reverb from Ozone 5, but I'm not positive about that.  Just started going through the tutorials this week.
 
Thoughts?

    I agree...O6A is the shiznet...

    The loss of the Reverb Module is what prompted the outcry, which, I can
    see that that is "losing" a feature, but the question must be asked ...

    Do you REALLY use a Reverb when you're Mastering?

    I certainly don't.  I'm sure it was nice to have, but if you
    REALLY think about it., Reverb is rarely, if ever, used, when
    Mastering, so why would a "Mastering" processor have one?

    The reverb in Ozone is pretty cool actually. depending on what kind of music you're mastering. I like it for really dry jazz recordings or for classical strings etc. It alows me to put the master in a more apropriate space. For metal, pop, rock etc, it's of no use to me.

    That I can completely understand.  You still have the ability to use "any" reverb.

    Of course - but will it be as subtle? ;)
