If I didn't have Sound Forge, I'd be happy to do all this stuff in Cubase, but I do, and find it easier.

I must admit that "easier" is worth something.
Of course, one person's "easier" is another person's "pain in the ass".
For me personally, I've already trimmed, edited, and applied X processing and plugins to 30 or 40 tracks in a song within Cubase when mixing. When I'm finished with a mix, it ends up looking like one of the cities was bombed all to hell in WW2. It's a complete and total mess. If Cubase does all that for me, it can easily handle 5-12 little wav files that simply need just a hint of EQ and their volumes evened out.
Assuming that I thought "pretend mastering" was easier in Sound Forge, I'm not sure I would recommend a person go out and buy it (over something like bass traps or better studio monitors). Of course, if you already have it and you like it, there is no reason not to use it.
