They wouldn't have me. I'd end up scarin the bejeezus out of em. Plus, as you are already hip to, I'm much better at givin folks money for no good reason than takin it for no good reason.

Thinking of going into politics, ol' pal?

I thought that's what the name implies. (sorry buddy)

No..no...yor thankin of my cousin "Sorry" Buddy Riley. He ain't worth a bucket a spit.

Good answer.
 
So which mic modeler do you use?  I reckon those Earthworks mikes are just too darn expensive, but if I can make my SM57 sound like one, then that should be just as good. I'm not sure where the frequencies above 15KHz are gonna come from, but I reckon that's the "mojo" at work, right?

Welp...like our pal Larry, I think it is pretty easy to hear that the Antares MicModeler makes a noticeable difference in the recorded mic "tone". In fact, if you can't hear the difference, I'd recommend a good "listening" course. That said, the difference that MicModeler makes is totally subjective as to whether it is "better" or "worse". Therein lies the problem and/or horse race. By in large it imparts a "warm saturation" on cheaper mics which might or might not be needed or appropriate for the project at hand. Personally, I'll use whatever I can to get my instrument or vocal tracks to sound just how I want them...front end or back end. Warm, full and fat to strident, harsh and distorted...the tools are available...you just have to know HOW to use them. And then USE THEM. YMMV.

Still, wondering how this new T-RackS module will stand out, as I really dig most of their other stuff.

Is it possible to save 70 bucks and get ballpark on plugs like this, by chaining an: impulse generator into a phase filter into a verb? Of course you would have to double the chain, split panning and adjust settings to attempt to emulate different mics and different distances. But just curious, as I can't see how they would be re-treating already captured audio with any kind of spectacular fairy dust?

Judging from the Video I'd say it's decent...but I'm not going $70...
I'll wait for a sale...

One fellers snake oil is quite often just not being able to hear subtle differences.

I hear ya.  Or maybe I don't...   
A few weeks back, I was sitting in a friend's home studio, and he was badmouthing the upcoming Mic Modelling thingie from Slate, calling it ridiculous.  I pointed to his Focusrite Liquid Channel and asked him why he thought Focusrite's modelling was credible but Slate's wasn't?  He actually laughed, 'cause he didn't have an answer.
