Is there a difference in meaning between, "in respect of" and "with respect to"?
Is it grammatically correct to use, "in respect to…."?
The full context I am concerned with currently reads:
"My recommendations in respect to the features available are summarised below."

Both of the phrases In respect of and with respect to are standard and acceptable phrases (at least in British English), as shown by the dictionary extracts and other references below.
In respect to is not standard and no doubt results from mixing the two phrases.
It will be apparent from the above definitions that the following phrases are all effectively equivalent:
In the light of earlier comments and answers suggesting that in respect of is non-standard, here are some example usages [6]:
An example of with respect to [7]:
Finally, examples using in respect to can be found [8], but, as noted above, the dictionaries consulted do not appear to accept it as a standard phrase.
