So I guess I'm doing 192 VBR mp3 from now on. I'm not THAT paranoid. And thanks HydrogenAudio for all the fish. 
That's a wise decision IMO. The main advantage of AAC is with rather low bitrate like ~100 kbps. With today's storage media most people can easily allow for ~200 kbps, and at such a bitrate you don't have to worry using universal mp3. Quality is great.
