Having produced my home demos, I get where you're coming from. But when I'm playing a solo, my only concern is being inside the moment. And that means that even when producing a little demo, I chose my instruments carefully so that the rig inspired and didn't hinder. If the amp doesn't respond to my touch as I wish, that's a distraction at the very instant I need to be inside the moment.
My last gigging amp was a 70-lb Peavey VK212. My next accessory purchase after that? Yep ... a handtruck.
I don't mind sims, like I said, I've used them and they get some damned good sounds.
