All good points. Personally, I record everything to a click, but I don't do acoustic stuff. It's possibly just my aesthetic but I'd think acoustic music would gain from being a bit more imperfect in the tempo dept. If you take old recordings and put them into a DAW you'd be shocked at how much the tempo deviates and you don't even notice it.
I mapped out the tempo of the mix contest that they threw a year or so ago when they were giving away a set of focals to the main winner.
The deviation was less than 3bps and never anything over 1 bpm from bar to bar. Good players don't deviate that much.
