Vinyl for Digitally Recorded Music - ?

I love my vinyl and I love my well mastered cds. But, I have started collecting vinyl versions of digitally recorded and mastered music and find that the quality just doesn't compare with the older analog recorded stuff. And, then I started wondering about the point of it all...

Obviously, analog recordings produced onto analog / vinyl media makes sense. Same is true for digital recordings produced onto digital / cd media. And for convenience, producing analog recordings on cds makes sense.

But, why should us "audiophiles" bother (other than the novelty and perhaps taking advantage of the studio's high quality D/A) to purchase vinyl versions of digitally recorded music?
