Solid state vocal limiter / compressor

I'm used to using my DAW with software plug-ins but recently I've been toying with the idea of getting a solid state vocal limiter/compressor to set up permanently in my recording booth.As I've never bought any solid state gear before, except for a couple of Zoom effects racks about 10 years back (now sold) I'd be interested to know what people would recommend for vocals.I've got a PC laptop running Sonar and I use an Edirol FA101 firewire interface with pretty good mic pre-amp; but I guess I'll have to sacrifice the preamp if I use an eternal effect unit.Any ideas?
