I had it recently that the artist preferred the sound of a soft clipped version for all tracks, only parts in one song he preferred to be cleaner.

I was getting ready to explain to him, that if he wants the level of the clipped version, that one section will have to be compromised in sound - when the "unthinkable" happened. He was absolutely fine with me dropping the album down 1 dB to save the clarity of that one section. I didn't expect that. What a breath of fresh air. So now the album sits at -1,3 dBfs. And everyone is extremely happy with that.
