FWIW, MMultiBandAutopan is part of Eternal Madness this week for €20. I just paid US$24. PanShaper will go on sale at some point. I can wait.

I still use the unfortunately named Sonitus Surround more than MMultiBandAutopan or the original PanCake.

Well, bit, MMultiBandAutopan IS very cool. Not the type of effect I've really played with before, but what a pleasant experience I just had sticking it on the master buss of a percussion-only piece. Definitely worth $24!
 
Getting MMBA set up and functionally useful wasn't so bad at all. And once you get MP's modulation scheme, the skill is applicable across a LOT of their plugs.
 

Meldaproduction takes a lot of heat for its initially-confusing, nonstandard UIs. But there is consistency within the product range, so once you "get" the Melda design philosophy they all start to make perfect sense. I am as comfortable with my Melda plugins as I am with the famously user-friendly FabFilter stuff. In some cases, more so.
