You know, not to get into this debate really, but I have to say that I'm
loving emulation...and I'm not just saying that because I maintain an
emulation project. I can sit in my home office, which is in another part of
the house from my shop (where all of my gear is) and play a quick game on
the Mac using Basilisk or vMac or A2Oasis. I use emulators for Commodore,
Apple, Nintendo, and Atari.
So, it does indeed give you options, and saves you some walking in the
process. The only complaint I have in general is the keyboard mapping for
special keys and remembering them all. Maybe a Jim-Brain-type adapter is
available for the Apple II and Apple ADB keyboards...I dunno.

Of course, this runs dangerously into the direction of a "why use an
emulator if you have the real thing" kind of debate... :-)
It just give you options! :)
