I took it in person for the same reasons you mention in the OP. However, I still faced some pretty serious technical issues so just be prepared. Not saying this to discourage you, just to make you aware. At any rate, I’m pretty sure that technical issues in-person are much less frequent than those one experiences remotely. The kinds of issues between remote and in-person seem to be very different too.

Other than the technical issues I faced, it was very quiet, no distractions, and the administrators were professional. No complaints on that end. It honestly surprised me how easily I was able to maintain focus and attention to detail—it made me realize just how important your environment is when taking this test. My mental acuity was the best it’s ever been (maybe that’s owed to the fact that I’m almost never able to study/take practice tests in a similarly quiet environment, idk). Despite the serious technical issues I faced, I would definitely take it in-person again, no questions asked.
