I've moved from S1 to Cakewalk. Now I don't have a decent surgical EQ + dynamic EQ. I can use Nova for dynamic EQ, but I still need a decent surgical EQ.

Can"t you use Nova as a usual eq, too?!
It's not adding colour, so just use it as surgical eq.
Or check ddmf

Maybe this one's worth checking out? https://cravedsp.com/crave-eq
It's €59 so I hope it counts as a budget one :)

Toneboosters EQ4 is the best value out there IMO.

With Plugin Alliances current Megasale they're giving out free $20 vouchers again (no minimum spend) so you could get something like bx_hybrid 2 for free if that style of EQ is any good to you...

Aside from the already mentioned, HoRNet - Total EQ might be another and is surely one of the most slept on. On Sale quite frequently too.
