The angel is saying your mxes sound good, buy the tg1 limiter and germanium tone control. You have fast effecient work flow, just keep digital, just keep digital. I mean my 16x's really do sound phenomenal.

The devil is saying...Sure your mixes sound okay, but it's digital, analog is better. Get that 2" machine, it will rock your world.

Then I am in the middle with all the people here saying they love tape, and others saying that they couldn't imagine recording with it anymore... I'm going to scream
I think you should go for it. The experience alone will be worth it and its fun commiting to tape. sounds to me like there are no financial worries so its really a thing you need to get out of your system. coming from a digital back ground you will probably think tape sounds dull to start with and your mixes will sound fluffier. Not saying thats a bad thing and the tape machine with your very decent console would give you very nicey results.

go for it, at the very least when your 60 you wil be able to say you actually used tape
