The soundman won't thank you for making him run out two extra cables, use two extra channels, and have the fucking hassle of making sure the monitors are right while the patch levels go up and down like a crazy uppy-downy thing. It doesn't, in my experience, keep stage volume down, just sends it from a different direction.

Anyway, amp sims. I really don't see the point.

Here's the way I see it:

For amp sims: multiple amps in a box.

Against amp sims. It's a sim (no pet shop boys jokes there please), most of the sims I've heard wouldn't fool a deaf hamster. It's not any cheaper, you'll still need an amp and a cab. There are lots of perfectly good guitar amp manufacturers with decades of experience. How many people, in all honesty, could tell the difference between different amp sounds. Being digital, sims will have the hiss inherent in all digital systems.

My advice is: wait a few years til the market forces the quality up and the price down.
