So far, the stuff I've done on my 1/2" 8-track reel-to-reel using rhythm
loops has sounded pretty damn good so far.
The problem is: working digitally is handy when you want to change bits
and pieces of any track, as the random-access nature makes it extremely
easy. The drawback for using reel-to-reels is the whole routine of
cleaning the heads, waiting for the song to rewind or forward, etc.
The biggest drag is not being to go above 8 tracks total for a song,
whereas I think that limit applies for each overdub only as far as digital
goes.
Then again, you have to go out of your way to destroy a reel of tape. All
you need is a hard disk crash to destroy a good amount of digital work.
