The digital stuff is etremely good these days, but it just doesn't do it for me. I have a Kemper with profiles of every amp under the sun but I still enjoy using my tube amps and pedals more. But yeah, Kemper, Quad Cortex, AxeFX, etc are hard to beat values if you don't mind fiddling.
Recording an album is a totally different experience with a Kemper. No more anxiety about how the tones will sit in the mix... If it's not working, you can re-amp it.
