I mix from 24 track analog to the masterlink (usually
24/44.1) and most of my bands are poor, young, and would usually
prefer me to give them a reasonably finished product rather than
paying a mastering lab money that they don't have.

If they can afford to record 24 track analog, afford to get CDs pressed
and afford passible graphics, they can't afford to throw those
investments away by NOT having better mastering done than what a
Masterlink is capable of.
