You're evaluating an instrument purely from the perspective of the listener and not the musician. Sure, an emulated Rhodes might be indistinguishable once it's gone through the audio production and mastering meat grinder. But the real question is whether a musician will even want to put one through that if the sound doesn't inspire them the moment they sit down and play it. I use a mixture of analog and digital synths. While I appreciate the power and flexibility of emulations, I've never been inspired to make music as much as I am when I press a key on an analog synth.
