all the reels are built from computer - and i bring a laptop and Metric Halo interface with me to the live shows in case the tape machine breaks.
Tascam is better onstage because it has Auto Locate, Auto Play, Edit button for audible rewinds, etc and the transport is light and quick. Otari is better left in the studio for recording with its heavy transport, balanced in/out, VU meters and calibration controls.
hope that helps!
