How would you like it if you were at the bar ordering your lady a nice cocktail and they pulled out an empty sprite bottle from the fridge with a pre made Cosmopolitan in it?
This is a different issue though.

On one side there's pre-mixing tunes... that is putting two tunes mixed together on a CD, and then mixing that into a set.

Then, there's having all your tunes at the same BPM so you can concentrate on other things.

The former is a bit of a cop out. The latter is perfectly fine IMHO. Getting two records in time is a piece of piss, and the real talent is how you blend, cut and manipulate the tunes. Not to mention tune selection.
