Default Poll: would you sit at an electronic table at a B&M room?

There's a company, PokerTek, marketing an electronic version of poker. Basically, rather than real cards and chips, you sit around a table and play on monitors, using virtual cards and chips. Casinos like the idea because they'll spend less on labor, and hands will go faster, so the rake will increase.

What about the players? On one hand, I'd like to see more hands in an hour. The software will make it so people can't bet out of turn or make other mistakes, the dealers won't make mistakes, and you don't have to tip the dealer. On the other, if I want to play virtually, I'll 4-table online at home. B&M is where you get to physically touch your cards and chips, and people don't need to worry that the cards are rigged.
