I think what we're getting at is that if you have a magic 1969 Super Lead that just sounds absolutely perfect when cranked and is your favorite amp to record, you'd be insane to drag it on tour when a reissue plexi head will do the job just as well. The audience will never be able to tell the difference, and in the din of what's happening on stage, you probably won't be able to either. If you can afford to have a super-expensive vintage amp, you can probably afford to pick up a reissue version that would be easily replaced.
