Yes, I'd still have a "hardware" rig for backup (it's what I play live now). The reason for going with a computer set up is because the sounds are so freaking amazing. The pianos and B3 emulation are as close as it gets to the real thing as I've ever heard.
I could always get a couple of Korg Oasys keyboards, but they're outrageously priced right now. I think I can do basically the same thing with a computer.
I do like the idea of building two boxes. My wife would probably kill me if I suddenly double my hardware budget though.
