I guess I should have clarified that I have eqs out the rear that are supposed to emulate hardware (SSL, Neve, API, Massenberg, Pultec etc...).
The only general purpose eq I have is Q10 and it's an ok no frills eq, but lacks a lot. My DAW came with curve eq and I like the UI so I was considering this eq as it's not to bad in terms of price. I have not tried ProQ 2 or the offerings of DMG. TBH I am turned off by the price of both.
