Steve,
What you're looking for is the RNC 1773 (Really Nice Compressor). I have one and it's phenomenal. You can read all about it here: http://www.fmraudio.com/RNC1773.htm
You'll find a review from EQ Mag and testimonials there too.
Cheers,
Bill

Finding a decent two buss compressor for cheap will be a challenge, but from what I've heard the RNC is a viable option. The Meek is a character effect, you'll either love it or hate it.
