I will keep my Classic going, like an old collector´s vintage car.
Emulation is really great and comfortable, but it does not compare to the real thing. In emulation timing is not that precise, and some features are unavailable, like WOS/PUP.
Two years ago I was like this -- a hardware guy who would never switch --- and I even used the "emulation is not that precise" argument, because I mainly use my Amiga's for music MIDI recording - in which timing is VERY important.
Then my A2000 broke down and was going to be very expensive to fix (although I did try). I gave WinUAE a shot and was blown away with how fast and precise it was. I could run all my original Amiga productivity software (including MIDI recording software) without a problem - timing or otherwise.
So I don't get this issue - can anyone point out a timing problem in UAE?
I still love real hardware, but for east of use, compatibility, easy replacent of parts and pure speed I find emulation has really matured.
