Few things I didn't see anyone mention-
1) In terms of just sound quality, it depends quite a bit on the quality of the vinyl. Most of the industry moved to a thinner, more flexible (but worse sounding) format in the 70s to save money. But many releases where there is a collectors market are still pressed on high quality, which has better sound and is more durable.
2) Sound quality degrades with each listen. It may be "charming" to get those pops and clicks, but if I told you your MP3 sounded slightly shittier everytime you listened to it, you'd probably view that as a bad thing:)
3) Amazingly, there is still a lot of music that is only released on vinyl, or that is released on vinyl exclusively before CD/ MP3. So if you are into certain kinds of music you may need a turntable to hear the newest stuff:)
