If you are afraid I might walk into your session and blow raspberries at your PT rig, and that would ruin your day, then I guess I can see your point. I don't think I've ever done that though. Honestly, why would my unwillingness to use digital recording have any effect on your session?

I wouldn't bring a DAW into Electrical for myriad reasons. First of all,
you are one of your studio's biggest assets. Choosing to work in the digital domain (presumably) rules you out for the project. It also (presumably) rules you out for assistance in the event something goes wrong or even if the visiting engineer needs a little advice. I wouldn't expect you to "blow raspberries" at my session, but I sure wouldn't expect you to be gung ho about it, either.
Regardless, why on earth would I pay good money to work at a place where I knew my methods and gear were looked at with disdain by the principal engineer? You know as much as anyone how important the vibe of a session is. Why risk it?
It's your bed. You made it. Lie in it.
That having been said, you know I admire your work, your skills, your intellect, and the way you stick to your guns. I'd be happy to bring projects to your studio -- if it were in Austin. I'd just do things your way. (Disclaimer: I've never tracked or mixed with a DAW in my life.)
