If anyone has gone from solid state to tubes and back again they have made a concerted effort to stay with solid state. It really depends on the type of music you mainly listen to and what your listening habits are.
For myself I like leaving the system powered up all the time not just because it will sound better but to have continuous background music, so the choice of solid state is obvious. I know there are some sensational sounding tube products that offers that wonderful 3D soundstage with vocals to die for but there are some modern solid state that comes close enough to justify a means to the end.
