Cubase 7.5 MAGNETO II sounds wonderful!

I’m not so much for tape emulation plugins. Tube plugins like SPL Twin-Tube etc… is another story though!
To be honest I feel most tape emulations plugins are more a “gimmick” then that it actually adds something more then little 3D effect and a lot “dullness” to the track that I don’t want. Nothing compare to real tape sounds.
But Steinberg new MAGNETO II that comes with Cubase 7.5 is something extra. I really like this plugin on the MASTER BUS adding warmth and 3D effect. I don’t know if they used VCM technology to model this unit like NEVE-RND Portico plugin. I have heard its has been modeled after a famous 90ths tape machine, though. I don’t know if its Yamaha in-house or Studer A827?
Has anyone else the same “vibe” and experience with new MAGNETO II? Its sure sounds great!
Best Regards
