DBX 160X Compressor vs Axe-FX 3 Compressor

I saw one session player utilizing Axe-FX 3 with DBX 160X compressor. What's the compressor model in Fractal that sounds closest to the DBX 160X? Does the Fractal compressor sound as good as the real rack compressor?

AX8 Compressor Sustainer?

Having used a Boss Compressor / Sustainer in the past I started looking at the Compressors that come with the AX8 but none of them had sustain in it's settings. My guess is that it's maybe renamed? Is this the case? If it is...which settings takes care of the sustain?

Compressor block

I've read a lot of posts regarding compressors differences (Studio, pedal 1 and pedal 2) but none of them really provides a good explanation about them. Does anyone really knows how they differ and which models are more close to Boss CS-2, Ross and MXR Dyna Comp?

Compressor Gain reduction meter

It would super super useful to see the compressor gain reduction meter in axe edit other than just on the screen. A similar meter for the gate would also be very useful. Does anyone else feel this would be beneficial?
