They are also making software products since quite a few years.

If the hardware is not there, then it is not the same thing.  Cannot
be, even if the emulation is 100% accurate, it is not hardware.  Maybe
very close, though.

Mixbus 32C continues by adding the 32C EQ aspect.

Hence, the subject line part that states up front: "Mixbus 32C (based on
Ardour)"

Although hmmmm....  It could be that the Harrison Mixbus 32C product is
only found embedded in their new hardware consoles and that one would
have to buy the hardware console to get Mixbus 32C. Then the comparison
would be a software product, Reaper, versus an embedded software
product only found within hardware consoles. Wouldn't be a fair
comparison, wouldn't it.  Not fair for Reaper.  Not fair for the guys
ending up liking Mixbus 32C and having to spend around $50,000 or
more and Reaper is not so much at all by a far cry.

In short, it is well stated as it is.
