My experience with the mirror is that it works great when you are looking at it. You can adjust minute moves to stay 'within the lines' that separate the good angles from the bad. But when you perform this mirror is gone. It's like walking a path within lines many times and now you need to do it blindfolded. You can still 'feel' the outline and although vague, this is valuable in its own. But like with the webcam, it should not give you the final judgment on how good a move is. I would assume a good combination is to practice in front of a mirror and then take it to a camera.
Also keep in mind spectators seated at the end of the table get a much more exposed view of what is happening under your hands, something that won't be caught if you simply perform in front of one mirror facing you.
