One of the biggest setbacks in music was the 1980's remastering when the CD became the preferred consumer format. Many of those original digital remasters were not done very well by today's standards. Some artists have digitally remastered their albums a second time and the quality is much better. If you compare a 1980's Bob Dylan or CSN remaster to the original LP (even a cheap used LP with imperfection), I think you'd prefer the LP even on a cheap turntable. For newer recordings that were done digitally, I don't think there is any reason to play it on vinyl.
I prefer digital music for the convenience. I can carry around my entire collection on a hard drive. With a backup stored safely outside of my home, I don't have to worry about theft or fire destroying my collection. Plus its much easier to listen to something else. With vinyl I'd have to dig out the record and flip it over. My 2nd turntable was a Thorens without auto-shutoff so if I became preoccupied with something else, the record would continue to spin until I remembered...
