yeah man i guess people feel all this modelling business we do is cheating a producer out of a job somewhere?
i've heard some digital tones that are TERRIBLE, and i don't like losing too much organic sound, but so long as it sounds good who cares. Some of Dino Cazares' tones are as digital as fuck, but they're absolutely crushing. You just have to EQ it right so it doesn't sound overly processed. Not to mention you can achieve these sounds with non digital equipment, it's just more expensive!
