Having lived with several analogs over the past 15-20 years my view is that
modelled analog is different - but still as valid as the real thing.
Convenience plays a role here as well.

OTOH, digital synths that don't try to emulate the typical analog signal
path are wonderful.

Ultimately, to me they're all just different colours on the palette. I try
to not think about such things but rather focus on the music to be made.
