There is no reason why someone can't have both btw... vintage gear and softsynths. In reading a few different forums, it seems as if a lot of players feel they have to go with either one or the other.

Not me. Right now the only hardware 'analog' I have ( modeled of course ) is the AN150 plug in that sits in my Motif ES6.

I detailed why I went to softsynths in another thread, but to add, one of the main reasons is because there are so many choices at low prices. Still, when the right analog or other hardware machine comes my way, at the right prce, I'll be happy to integrate it into my system.

I like sample machines for several things, but not for vintage analog emulations. They just don't do them justice.
I am however, happy to play the Rhodes emulation on a Motif ES6 rather than trying to drag a real Rhodes around with me.
