| Jim's right, October Road sounds great!
Outside of the maintainance issues and the benefits of recording to analogue (drums particularly benefit from that slight push you can get on tape), almost everyone here has glossed over the downsides, thing like that fact that tape can be fiddly, particularly if you are syncing things up, frustrating waiting for reels to rewind, time consumming to line up.
I remember my frustration at times about how the sound would change from the channel live sound, to what would come back, sometimes this is great and exactly what you want, often it can be a pain.
