is it worth investing in a 1/2" instead of a 1/4" for mastering(big quality difference)?

also, which brands have most of you liked most? I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to tape machines.

Mixerman, (and others too),
I remember a while ago on RAP that you posted about an upcoming mix that you were going to do on 1/4" tape instead of your normal 1/2". I never saw the follow up and was wondering if you might sum up your observations here as well. :roll:
