Another practical point for 33 releases is that any given album takes half the space in your shelving, leaving more room for your collection*.
Prioritizing the 'ultimate' sound quality against the experience of playing a record and record storage space gets things seriously backwards for me.
*a benefit that is often negated by labels like Acoustic Sounds who double the space taken with the addition of a bunch of poorly reproduced, alternate session photographs: making a double LP package out of what should be a single.
