The style of music has a lot to do with this as well. You will never get a solo classical guitar to -9db rms, but a lot of death metal is almost that loud before mastering. If the music calls for it, you can set out to have a loud mix and you won't need any really expensive tools. If you have a song with a lot of 'air' or is sparsely arranged, you will need something really expensive to make it loud without destroying it. The farther away you are from your goal sound, the more expensive the equipment is that will fix it.

I could buy that. It also doesn't happen overnight...learning to mix that way takes tiime...i'm still getting better. it seems reasonable that one day those crappy sounding plugin limiters will sound pretty damn good because my mixes are better.

Because your mixes are better and you won't need to have the limiters set on stun to get what you want.
