...the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor and the PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor? Do I really need another compressor in Sonar?
 
Cheers

1. Yes. 2. I don't know, do you?

Yes, there is a difference.  Initially I didn't use the PC4k channel compressor that much, but, having spent some time playing around with it, I now really like it.
 
I wouldn't want to be without it.  It sounds/works differently to the other PC compressors, but just took me longer to set up well.  The gain reduction LEDs aren't much use, IMO, so you really need to use your ears.  I probably don't use it as often as some of the others.  Having said that, it works far better on some material .

You already have the Sonitus Comp and the PC76, so you can make tries.
I don't know if the special offer is closed for the Concrete Limiter ; if not, you could look at it.
 

Yes they are very different. I use the channel compressor to tame guitar levels or other very dynamic signals. Works beautifully. The buss compressor as the name implies is used on the master buss or submix busses to "glue" several signals together and it does this very well. I would definitely jump on the 50% off deal!

Great advice here that I totally agree with. PC4K Bus Compressor is for gluing of bus material together and creating that "sounds like a commercial record" vibe. The PC4K Channel Compressor, while it takes some getting used to, is quite good for totally transparent dynamic compression of keyboards, guitars and similar type material with slower attacks and longer sustains.

A Brandon sighting!!  Good to see you here.
