I seriously doubt that Record will sound as good as either of those because of the difference in the amount of money that the products cost, but then again, I haven't read or heard of a side by side comparison yet either.
Cost has nothing to do with quality. Many times you can use that thinking with hardware but in the world of software this is often not the case. I know of free plugs that sound way better than very expensive ones. Also, since technology is constantly advancing and modeling techniques are getting better, many times the newest emulation is the best. And I have had a chance to use the mixer in Record and it does sound very good.
