Any 2-track for mixdown? Advice needed...

I am considering buying a used 2-track for mixdown, instead of
the DAT or ITB that I do now. Will any reasonably well-maintained 2-track do the job (once aligned and cleaned, and perhaps relapped) of giving my mixes the warmth I need?
For instance, I see a lot of
Otari MX 5050 on Ebay. I could probably scratch together $1K
if I found the right machine.
