If you’re all electronic it’s maybe not the best shout (unless it’s boards of Canada or soupy big colour vibes).
I love API in the signal chain on electronic music, but I get that with the 2500 rather than the 5500 - but I’d maybe demo that.
Digital tho otherwise and add the colour another way, apart from EQ (or try a new harmonic style eq like carnaby maybe)

i tried the new bettermaker vspe and it is really something!! it has tubes and transformers but still digital control. I find the sound of the tubes is strangely great almost on everything, not cold nor too colored! very versatile! I have the BME too, and it is very clear but a bit boring. Combining the BME with the VSPE i can do a lot more
