Where have you been reading all that? It's a bunch of bollocks. The amount of bias you need for ATR tape is right in the same ballpark as 456 and 911. In truth there hasn't been a tape that requires a higher bias since Scotch 250. You will have absolutely no trouble biasing your MX5050 for ATR, or any of the RMG formulations. And it isn't any harder to erase either.

And too stiff for a 5050 to pull through the transport? Please tell me that's intentional comedy.

The only "problem" with using a +10 tape and aligning your machine at +3 or +6 is that you'll have to put up with the extra headroom, the lower distortion, less tape compression...you get the picture.

I have no comment on problems someone else may have had with some unnamed "consumer" machine. But with a 5050 you've got it made in the shade with ATR or any of the current RMG tapes.
