Yeah, I'd say that modern analyzers are better unless you have some specific use cases. 
I am glad to have an HP 16500C where the inputs can swing +-40v and the logic thresholds can be user specified.  This allows it to be used with negative logic levels e.g. ECL and the -11v logic that is common in the vintage calculators that I like to work with.  (The HP9100 calculator uses logic levels of -2.4v and -15v !)
Vintage DUT may well need vintage test equipment but where possible I find it easier and better to use more modern tools - USB analyzers, Bus Pirates, etc.

Just purchased a 16 channel (200MHz) LA2016 from Kingst, it supports Sigrok and lots of decoders unlike the Tek. I’ll be happy to save some desk space too. In hindsight I should have kept the first one and not bothered with the old tech. I still have a Tds5054 which I love despite its age.
