What time stretching plugins available for SHS6 that are better than Time/Pitch Stretch 2?

After much debating with the band and short of rerecording everything, I need to increase the speed of one of my projects from 112 BPM to something a little faster. I have all of the instruments recorded to audio tracks except for the drums which are MIDI. I can add a tempo change to the project which speeds up the MIDI, but Time/Pitch Stretch 2 only allows me to increase the audio tracks by integer percentage values... and there are no integer percent values unless I go up to 140 BPM, which is waaaaay too fast. So, without upgrading to Producer to get the MPEX functionality, are there any plugins I can get for Home Studio that will allow me to do BPM or non-integer percentage time stretching? Thanks!

It isn't a plugin but the free audio recorder/editor Audacity does a pretty good job of tempo/speed change in audio files. It can change speed based on percentage, time or BPM. If you can't find a plugin that will serve your needs, it might be worth taking a look at. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

You can also bounce the tracks to a single track, including converting the MIDI to audio, export that mixdown, re-import it into another project. Then highlight the track and click Process>Length (if I recall correctly). You can shorten the length by percentages without changing the pitch of the song. Undo if it's not right. A couple of tries should have it dialed in to a more agreeable tempo.
