Going SACD or analog?

I am at the crossroad in choosing new vs old technology. Selling my Sony redbook cdp and going with Sony 777, or investing into the hi-end turntable rig? Have few records, and several hundred of CD's. I listened SACD with Krell and Martin Logan speakers. It was great, but i liked all Linn analog set-up even more. I would have about 3k to spend, which wouldn't be much for an excellent analog set (including phono stage pre) as i am using Sony's volume control with my Plinius 100 mkII. What to do? what to do?

I have found that I enjoy my analog set-up much more for listening to music, when that is all I am doing. For background music while working, tieing flies, doing the dishes, etc., the digital is much more convenient. There is nothing worse than running to the TT with wet, dirty, soapy, greasy, etc., hands, to rescue your cartridge, because you spaced out regarding the last cut on a LP.

For me, analog is magical and greatly prefered (clean those LP's!), but the CD is more convenient.
