Element will let you load Halion as your default synth, it will let you chain any midi or fx plugins, once you have your routing set up you just "Save Group" then "Load Group" the Element setup you need or in Element > Settings > "Save Session".
You are too limited to what you can do with the Biab routing/chaining/sends.
You can load VST3 in the VST2 version.
