Apologies if this plug is not completely new for folks as it's been out for a little while. Happen to stumble across it today and it's the only limiter I've heard so much reference it being better than FG-X, which I very much use regularly.

Before you jump, do remember that Slate is promising an algo improvement, not just 64bit compatibility, with the next FGX update.

I tried the demo just now. Admittedly it was just a quick test, but when A/B'ing with FG/X on a particular mix, the bass and kick drum seemed to fatten up a little. Hard to describe. The kick drum especially seemed to lose a little bit of punch/attack/definition. Might be some of the transient preservation aspect of FG/X coming into play there.

Take with a heavy grain of salt. Just a first impression and haven't spent much time with it so far.
