I couldn't have said that better. For the pro, digital lowers cost and 
increase profit, since you can still charge the client the same fee as you 
did 
during the film years.

The print is the tangible product. Frankly, I don't care how you arrived at 
the print, and probably neither does the client. He just wants it on time.
