What's exciting on the chorus front?

I must start by saying I'm old school, and have only owned a pink Ibanez chorus, and a Tech 21 Boost. I am thinking of refurbishing my pedalboard, and might put a stereo chorus in front of it, for two signal paths.
Here's the current pedalboard state for reference:

One might say…
Get one with a tap tempo because having to adjust rate via a knob is no where near as fun and quickly adaptable.

I have a Julianna and love it. A little hissy but it seems like every damn chorus I’ve used is. Overall tone and quick features make it a dang good one. Good for guitar also.
 
Boss DC-2W Dimension C Chorus Pedal

It's a two in one deal based on the Roland SDD-320 Rack unit and the Boss DC-2 pedal, 4 buttons, 1 switch for a total of 20 combinations. It can go from mild to very lush and offers mono and stereo modes. I got mine for free by accident when Musician's Friend shipped it with one of my orders and they told me to keep it. First day I got it and posted about it I got offers from TB'ers to buy it from me.

Wish I could find a bass demo of it. But here's some really good guitar demos of it.



 
I forgot to mention that the other chorus pedal I use is an old Ibanez CSL chorus from the 80s. I did a head to head with the Boss Ce-2 at the time and chose the Ibanez. I still really like it. It can do vibrato and very warbly sounds as well.
 
I liked the EHX clone for years, mostly becuz crossover, and small.

Lately the big MX 6 knob analog blue one was on my board because crossover and flanger - it can be nicely subtle, or more.

Currently, I went back to the EBS because I like it also, relatively small and simple, with flanger.
