Anton do you still suggest this?

no, the $29 version I never recommended, it is missing too many things, get the standard version, see comparison

However, I prefer Master Restoration as it causes no delay after export

Hey yes I have that, but i thought you said that the RX one had a better ability to remove distortion?

to remove distortion (clipped sound) is a difficult task, I avoid distorting sound in the first place so I have not had to deal with this

You can think of distortion in audio as being almost the same as shooting video over exposed. Once video is over exposed, the brighter areas loose most of the detail in them because the video levels get "clipped". You can recover a very small amount of the video detail in areas that are just on the verge of clipping, but anything over the clipping level is lost.

Audio distortion is when the audio levels get "clipped". An audio de-clipper/distortion remover just tries to smooth out harsh crackling/clicking portions of the audio to make it less offensive to listen to, but it can't recover what is lost due to the clipping. De-clipping can work on mild distortion to get you out of a bind, but applying it to anything beyond that usually results in audio that gets pretty massecared. It will not be as crackly, but will still not sound right.

You are better off recording your audio a little bit low and boosting it in post. This may introduce a little bit of noise, since the electronic and ambient noise floor will also get boosted, but it is much easier to remove the noise in a lower level recording than it is to remove distortion from a clipped recording.
