Obviously, I want my cake and I want to eat it too (and I'll have as much of yours as I can)... or at least that's how most businesses would approach it.

When I'm setting up DR for various systems, I ask the business, how much data loss are you prepared to handle? My assumption is, if stuff goes south, you're going to lose data. So then, it's a question of minimizing down time. yeah, I try to get after the data too, but if an app is mission critical, the question quickly comes up, everyone off line, or one user with incomplete data? I know how most businesses are going to answer that one.
