Actually I would contend the oposite. If I built a vapor compression refrigerator and a LN2 pot the temperature and consumption of the LN2 pot would be much closer to my predictions than the refrigerator.

Of course they're not for long sessions at high power, but then we are talking about benchmark cooling here.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't prepare for it, but understanding the process correctly can only help.

Though I would agree that there may be a better chance that a mistake will be made, the danger comes from higher pressure for certain refrigerants. A mistake isn't typically dangerous unless there is high pressures involved, electrical problems aside.
