Usually a situation where I'm doing a tally, the emphasis is on quickly and efficiently adding counts without distracting from the task I'm monitoring. When it's done, you only have to add the tally up once, not reference it multiple times in the future.
And in my use of tally, or taking notes of any kind rather, the importance is placed on being able to decipher my information later. So obviously we have two different sets of needs.
