I disagree. I tend to record long sessions with quite a few tracks.
For example the last session was well over 15 GB at 24 bit setting. And
especially when moving a few sessions to the laptop with only a small
SSD in it, disk space starts to matter to me again.

What issues? I never ran into a single issue when using lower bit depth
than 32 bit float.
