I use the L2 and the Vintage Warmer sometimes too. If I do use the L2 it is just to add a little bit of gain and keep a few errant peaks from clipping. I like what the Vintage Warmer does even when you hit it hard but Again I usually end up using it the same way. Plus it is a CPU cheap multiband compressor. I find these days that eq is the thing that can really help increase loudness. I usually end up using a low shelf cut along with some broadband mid boost (max +3dB) to get more energy out of the mix if needed.
