One of the main problems with cassettes relates to azimuth errors - from a
variety of reasons including the tape itself. You don't get these - or

I still kick myself sometimes for selling it.

You'll get far better performance from a MiniDisc at a fraction of the
price. And those don't vary from machine to machine.
