Walrus Mira Optical Compressor Blowout

I'm wondering if the Walrus Mira should replace my Markbass Compressore? I like the Compressore just fine although I got it used. Getting something new in the box may be nice.
I have the MarkBass Compressore as well. And I thought as you did, but to be honest, my setup is MKII head, (2) cabinets-210 Travelers, and I feel keeping it all consistent as MarkBass makes my sound what it is, which many come up to me during/after a show telling me my bass tone sounds great.

I came looking for this thread because I saw the deal on Sweetwater. Been looking for a compressor with blend that isn't over the top. Anybody else have experience with this pedal?
 
Just saw this price today Would love to here folks thought on this pedal that price is crazy good.

Played it live for the first time. The best way I can describe it is it sounds/feels very soft on my tone. I have the ratio at 9 o’clock and everything else at noon with the hpf engaged. Slightly warmer but not as warm as the diamond comp.

I'm using a cheap Donner compressor currently and I've been looking at buying a better one. I've heard wonderful things about the Empress Bass Compressor. How does this Walrus Mira compare? Should I just wait on the Empress or is this deal too good?

I Never used an Empress but at $103.00 USD at least to me if I was looking to upgrade my compressor I'd be all over this deal. I just got one for the $129.00 USD and thought that was a great deal.

I've never had the Walrus, but Empress has great led metering, which is extremely helpful when trying to dial in your settings. Best metering of all of them. I love mine.
