Beauty of this kind of approach is flexibility. Say you get a bit more money and want to invest in a Kemper or Axe FX further down the line, if you can be bothered to lug it to a gig. And your sound engineer will be happy. You can swap in and out whatever you want.
To be perfectly honest the advantages of this type of set up live outweighs the benefits of using a tube amp. But real amps can be nice for recording etc.
There's quite a few options now. Mooer fender amp sim sounds badass, for instance. The new FlyRig 5 V2 looks super cool. I have a couple of issues with V1 (no XLR, not a fan of the plexi stage) which V2 appears to address.
