And whilst I would rather have a non compressed format, a decent MP3
will be no worse than a vinyl transfer in most cases.

The CD you make at home should sound exactly like the LP since it's been
made using the same turntable, etc.

Exactly, but that will probably be quite different to an MP3 made from a CD
track.

Of course many long since disposed of their turntable etc but not
LP collection then decide to digitise some of it using something bought
off ebay and wonder why it doesn't seem to sound quite as good as they
fondly remember...

Which is why I said the turntable/cartridge and record quality is far more
important than the choice of soundcard these days.
