I've given REW 2 tries so far. The first time was pretty bad because I had no idea what I was doing. The second time was much better - it's a complex piece of software and there are lots of things you can play with. Something still seemed "off" the second time, but it did show that is has a lot of potential.
I have some bad room modes here, so I still prefer to not use it, because I currently, have some acoustic treatment on the way that should help tame some of the room problems - it's a room with sharp corners, hard surfaces (one wall is mostly glass), and high ceilings. Once that's in place, I'm going to give REW another run and am very optimistic of the results.
Long term, I'm probably going to upgrade my DAC. The one that I'm looking at has DSP capabilities and can run Dirac Live. Will likely A-B that against my REW convolution filters just for fun to see who did a better job.
