I don't have the NI ones, but I can say the UAD 224 absolutely rules on certain things like synth pads - it does this thing where it's not just like running through a verb, and nothing else I've heard does it. It can take a boring pad and make it sound glorious and like it's part of the pad vs. sounding like a pad through a reverb.
I'd be curious if the NI version can do this, and that's the first thing I'd try it out on.
