Has anyone had experience with Izotope Ozone mastering tools?

I've been using Ozone 5 for sometime, and found it's what I need, but I also tried Ozone 11 at a friends studio, and it seems Izotope have rebuilt it from the ground up and it's more complicated than version 5, one needs a college degree to use it.
Im using Ozone 11 since a few weeks. It IS more complex than version 5, and also than version 8 that i was using before... But i dont have any college degree too ! I spent some time trying... failing and failing again until it gets more friendly. The modules are quite the same as before and there's some quite effective assistant analysis now. There's also a bunch of videos on YT to learn the step by step... The most important is the final result, and Ozone 11 really delivers (from those few weeks experience...).
I use Ozone 10. I let the AI leed me. I tweak it mildly afterwards backing off the louldness feature in the chain. I think choosing Rock, Jazz or what ever makes a differance. I do have some electronic background that helps.
