I certainly don't NEED another saturator, though this one looks pretty cool and unique. In the video review I thought it sounded great on the individual instruments, making them sound really huge. Almost sounds like there's some kind of upward compression happening.
But not sure how those individual instruments would fit into a mix with all the "biggerizing" Plasma is doing. Wavesfactory Spectre (and Saturn, of course) is certainly a lot more targeted to a frequency range, which to me would be better when you're trying to create spaces for each instrument in a dense mix. Plasma seems like it would make more sense in sparse mixes where you want just one of the mix elements (usually vocals) to sound larger than life... just a snap judgement from the vid of course.
Not really in a rush to try it based on what I've seen so far, but like the other poster upstream (forget who), I own the iZotope Production bundle so maybe I'll get it someday via the bundle update.
