Years back, tapemachines(Studer, Ampex, Telefunken were a standard in every recording studios. Hitting the tape a bit(overloading) was a technique used to induce tape distortion and as a result a warm and "tape" sound called tape compression. In most studios, it has been replaced by some hardware emulators or digital plug-ins, but till now, none has been able to perfectly reproduce the true "Tape" sound. Maintenance of tape machines is rather expensive and their manipulation is time-consuming, which explain a higher price, though, results are often much better, more alive and more vibey!!! Tapes also add a bit of noise/tape hiss on recordings which is to take into consideration. It depends on the result wanted(digital clean/more vintage): When it suits well all kind of high RMS average music, it tend to be more audible in more subtle and RMS-conservative genre, but it generally perfectly suits todays' digital mixes. In my opinion, it sweetens the sound in a very desirable way but is not always the key!!!

Ask me if you don't know what would be the best option for your project. Sometimes, one will work better than the other, depending on the material source.
