Equalization done right, experiences?

I would like to be teached on your experiences introducing an EQ in your stereo hi-end system.
Please do not reply with "never do it" because I took already the decision to do it.
I am more interested if anybody of you has experience in choosing a digital or an analog equalizer.

I am targeting the following products that seems to receive consistent consensus:
Digital : Weiss EQ1 MKII
Analog: Millennia NSEQ2 or Massenburg or Focusrite 2

Is it true that analog EQ still has the charm of making the manipulation less invasive ?

What can you say about this? Have you tried one of the above EQ'zers ?
Thanks

What do you want to use the EQ for - room correction, tone controls, or both? Whether you go digital or analog depends on the rest of your system. Digital units typically offer more individual EQ bands than comparably priced analog units.

For tone controls first and eventually if having fun/results try to do something more.

The Behringer DEQ2496 (two of them actually) have been the greatest and most cost effective addition I have ever made to an audio system. I think that the Spectrum Analyser part is important because it lets you see what your room response problem is, and how to fix it, and the automatic equalization process is a hoot to watch. If you want to use it for tone control, the ability to set up, store, and recall many EQ curves would be good (although I don't need that because I have real tone controls).

End of sales pitch :-)

Yes I know the Behr but.......what I am trying to do is to achieve an even better unit. That's why I mentioned that names.
They are supposed to be the state of the art.
Cheers
