Personally, I would run the clipper at +1.5 (more loudness) with Reference Settings because, in my opinion, that is a purist setting. Processing is one of the most subjective arts that exist in radio and streaming. If you are the station owner, engineer, PD or whomever that has the authority to set the sound of that station, and it's the sound you are seeking then it works. If not, tweak away. While asking for input might be considered one of those proverbial "best practices," in the end, the person with final decision making authority has to decide on his or her station's "signature sound" and move on. 🙂
