maybe im not using flac verification to it fullest, but the way I see it is you can either create the ffps and compare them by eye to make sure they are all right.... which would involve checking about 15-20 files for each show to make sure the d/l went ok.
Or you can have them verified when you decode to wav, which means you have to scroll back and read the decompression of each file to see it went OK. To me, that seems like more work than setting up the md5s for the 5 or so shows i d/led and having mkwACT pop up with the exact files that did not verify.
Do I make sense, or am I a rambling fool that has it all wrong

EDIT: and another thing... when you verify while decoding, who is to say those files are still accurate to the ffps in the txt file? I can put a p+f show named as a phish show with a phish txt file and they will all verify correctly, will they not?? Then when i listen, its all wrong, and im going to have to settle for some P+F
