It's nit-picky but the bother to owning and the value isn't based on measuring the difference between the software models (which are very good; d16 group's are phenom) and the hardware. It IS the hardware itself. It's the physical thing that you touch and responds directly. It's the case, the buttons, knobs, design. So you own them because they are the actual thing, not the reproduction. Why do collectors buy original art? They could just buy the print? Yet, even cooler than just some artwork or other collectible end product, these are cherished tools of creation that are still culturally relevant. Personal preference vs. sonic value is a false binary. It's so much more than that.
