Baker and Taylor level 3 records

Does anyone else view those Baker and Taylor level 3 records with dread when they come up on an OCLC search? Do you then do a title search to try and find a better record? There's a whole discussion going in in AUTO-CAT about this. Here is a short summary of the discussion. Here is Glenn Patton's official OCLC response.

I'd almost rather catalog from scratch than use one of those records. OCLC says they are there to be upgraded by member libraries, vendor cataloging staff, etc. What are your thoughts?
