Depends on how much you ride it I guess. If you want a show pony that you only ride on special occasions and vintage is your thing then it seems like a no-brainer.
I agree with you though that modern bikes are 9 times out of 10 better to ride (on a basic like for like basis) but then my bikes are for riding not looking at. I currently ride older bikes (an early 90s Raleigh and a late 90s Pug) because I think buying new is a false economy (or rather its too expensive for me when there are a wealth of decent 2nd hand bikes out there) and also I got these two bikes for free off my dad.
I still think older bikes look better though.
