You know, I've loved my valve amps, and Ive owned more than most I guess. Times change, and I guess I have as well...
As ever, ymmv
Over the years I must have owned at least 30 valve amps and a few of them have needed more frequent and more costly repairs than the Kemper so it's swings and roundabouts. I've owned other digital preamps and they're still working after 10 years or more with no repairs having been necessary. I always carry a spare whether it's a preamp or a guitar as anything can fail or break. I certainly wouldn't discount using a digital device because it might break and I can't fix it at a gig.

I turn up to rehearsal now with a gig-bag and a Kemper should bag. It used to take 3 visits to the car !!
I would like a nice valve amp though, when things level out...
Also I'd never understand half of the gizmos on it. The facia of knobs and lights alone frightens me lol
Still need a cab though ?
Well, you can use a cab or straight through the PA. My cab is stored at the venue where we rehearse (a church building).
I'm not lugging two valve amps about any more though
It's ok to not like the Kemper you know, and love valve amps !! I nearly sold mine and was heading back to valves only till the TWO amp failures live with two separate amps, at a gig where all my family and friends were.
Just use what works for you

You've all heard me 'ramble' on (apologies) about the Carr for years... well, my mate is a newbie to guitar and came around the other Monday evening when Mrs Waz was out, and I set up the Kemper vs The Rambler.
I was literally gob smacked. Using a Tone Junkie Profile, and a bit of tweaking (and I have NO patience as a tweaker) you. could. not. tell. the. difference.
Bloody hell. That is a ridiculous statement to make.
Maybe a touch more warmth ? I dunno.
I miss the looks of my valve amps, the coolness of my valve amps, the kudos of my valve amps.
But sound and reliability. Sorry, that doesn't work for me personally...
