I agree. DC6 is indeed the best for noise reduction. I use it every 
day. And to find out whether or not it's over kill in your situation, 
you could have a look at the demo which they offer.  It works great 
with speech, no scripts required. On the down side, it does cost 
around $300 US, but for my money it's still a good value for the price.
