I currently us it through my Blackstar S1 cab with V30's; powered with a marshall EL84 valve poweramp. With suitable tweaking of EQ (rolling off the high frequency mainly) it sounds just as good as the amp.
I will add that I've had much better results using profiles of my own amps than commercial ones.
Of course you do limit yourself in terms of flexibility (ie: illiminate the possibility of speaker sims) by going this route but so far, that side of it hasn't bothered me. There are profiles made without speakers that you would think might work better for a guitar cab setup like this but I find Kemper's algorithm for artificially removing the cab part of the sim works just great - I just turn the cab button on for headphones and off when going through the amp speakers. At some point I'll probably replace the stock vaporizer 10" speakers with something nicer (prolly WGS G10c's or alnicos if I'm feeling flush). The Kemper is fantastic with headphones, too (the space function is excellent for this)
.....Having said all that, I do still have a distant yearning for a Rambler or Skylark!!! (just "because") but I understand you're quite well covered there...

The Kemper works on so many levels, and that is its strength. Im currently playing through headphones (where it works superbly) and also through the 'real' cab - a brilliant Zilla 1x12 Fat Baby.
So far, I have yet to develop my own (profiled) rigs, but the ones I have used have largely been very good indeed. Ive just emptied my Kemper of all pre-loaded profiles, and I've just started to uploaded my own through the iMac and Kemper rig manager.
Ive got a couple of Rambler and Redplate rigs that are amazingly VERY close to the originals.
However, if you run to FOH, it makes sense to go for the crystal clear (more sterile ?!) FRFR imho.

i forked out 40 bucks for some mbritt commercial profiles and they are ace. The modded bassman is unreal and a Les Paul sounds monstrous through it. When I find a mo I need to record some clips and upload to soundcloud.
