Is there a significant difference between [[round-off error]] vs. [[quantization error]],

or should they be merged?

As far as I know, "round-off error" is applied more to mathematical calculations that *could* be calculated to higher precision, but were rounded off to save time, while "quantization error" is usually applied to actual measurements of the real world (something that cannot possibly be calculated).

I think this is only a minor difference that could be mentioned in a sentence or two, in a combined article.
