What do you think about AMZ "Q&D comp 2"?

What do you think about AMZ "Q&D comp 2"?
I'm searching for opinions and suggestions on compressors:  
 
I'm searching for a very transparent comp pedal with a very clear attack and tone, large amount of compression-sustain and no noise (a very good unit needs a built-in downword expander NR).  
 
I have a tc electronics sustain I love too much to use it live, and I need a modern device with the same transparent tone and attack and, if possible, less distortion.  
I tried several pedals:  
 
- boss cs3: no NR, too noisy on extreme settings  
- tech 21 comptortion: I dont'like the attack, the NR isn't good as the tc  
- mxr dynacomp: the attack time is too slow for me, the first note after silence is a gunshot  
 
I can clone the tc but I wonder if from a simpler and modern project can I have better results. What about AMZ Q&D comp2?  
 
Thanks to all, any info and suggestions are welcome...
