with short delays, the daw will sum them and produce a very metallic, comb-filtered sound, at least to my ears. and as for mono, or mix minus mono, again, the computer just doesn't yield the same results. daw mono is not as punchy as analog mono, and daw mix-minus-mono doesn't reveal the same level of hidden details.
i have no good explanation for any of this, it just seems like one of the areas where digital still comes up short.

Agreed!
I prefer 'real' tape delay and 'real' plate reverb in my mix. Sometimes I can get good results with convolution when I mix with a daw. The reason: in analog domain sound is vivid and a little instable. There isn't a perfect phase cancellation if you phase two mono channel to 180 degrees. Short delay works.
In daw all is a bit perfect and sometimes you get a metallic flanger effect, not very musical.
