The higher quality "pro" is still quite evident even with the highest MP3
bitrates.

Actually, that may be a con when comparing CD->MD recording vs. PC->MD
recording, but when comparing MD to MP3, I don't consider it a "con." An
MD recorded via analog RCA cables still sounds better than an MP3 encoded
directly from the CD. The compression used for MP3's is inferior enough
that MD still sounds better.

That's the best argument for MP3. However, when you consider that MD does
the copy and encoding at the same time, while MP3s have two steps --
encode and copy -- the time differences isn't all that great.
