I've been planning on purchasing the CA-2A T-Type Leveling Amplifier at some point.
 
Today, I can get the entire ProChannel Pack for $99...
 
I know this is a silly question, but is this as incredible a deal as I think it is?!

These Pro Channel modules are awesome!  I use them all of the time. I don't think you'll be disappointed..

Ca2a and concrete limiter alone are worth the 99.  The rest is bonus.

I like CA2A and Concrete Limiter has its uses. Not a fan of the others, but for a hundred bucks it's still a reasonable deal even if you only sometimes use them. You could also get the Waves CLA classic compressors for almost the same price (110 at plugindiscounts) which includes an LA2A. Haven't properly A/Bd it to the Cake one but I do much prefer their 1176 to Cake's. Of course, you wouldn't get a limiter that way...

Thanks for the great info everyone. I'm buying it, but will also look at the Waves Classic Compressors. This is better than CHRISTMAS!!

If you get the PC versions I would probably not also spring for the Waves ones. They're decent but there are better ones. If you're still looking for compressors, Kush UBK-1 is also on sale at which is awesome, but requires an iLok. And actually I just noticed the IK multimedia classic compressors are also only 119, were they always that cheap? I thought they were more expensive, and heard really good things about them, also compared to the Waves and even UAD versions.

The Cake bundle is a good deal - as others have mentioned the CA2a (or whatever the designation is) is killer.  I don't use the limiter much but it works.  The SSL stuff (other than the bus module included w/ PC) is good.  But I find myself using the Cake opto and Softube's 1176 most of the time.  Even if I am fooling around there is a limit to how much compressor experimentation I do.  those 2 cover just about everything (along w/ the ssl bus comp, which is seriously good).  But I almost always touch acoustic stuff w/ compression coming in to firm it up more than shaving overs, so your use may differ.
 
Get something you can like and learn, then stick w/ it.  I'd prefer to spend money on hardware rather than yet another soft tool.
