PitStop Equivalent to distilling a file

We often receive files that may have any number of issues. For example there are some RGB images, or maybe fonts are not be embedded. One thing that almost always solves the problem is saving the file to .ps and then distilling using a press quality setting back to pdf. After doing this. Fonts are now all embedded. Everything is converted to CMYK. Transparency has been flattened. It just works. Using pitstops embed fonts preset almost never works or at least never to the success rate of distilling the file. I'm just wondering if there is a easy way to make pitstop perform all the functions that distilling does in one shot. Is there a preflight profile that does this? At the very least is there a pitstop routine that is as successful at fixing fonts as distilling is?
