Each has its advantages and disadvantages. And it depends on the preferred workflow of the user.
I buy hardware because I like to fiddle with knobs. I would buy a thousand dollar vintage compressor only for the fun to own it.
Buying a sample drum machine that doesn't let me change the samples is IMHO ridiculous. The only reason to buy a real vintage drum machine of that kind is - again - the fun to own it.
What's cool about the LinnDrum though is the faders. I think you need to buy a mixer and a sampler to recreate the workflow.
I'm fine with knobs, but miss panning on cheaper drum machines.
