Good insightful post!
The cons are really the money aspect, I have to buy a record player and build up a collection.
Vinyl is more expensive over here than CDs.
You have side A and B, so I'd have to get up and turn it over.
I spend a lot of time on the computer, music is at my fingertips.
People in general have moved away from vinyl, and even away from CDs - it's all digital these days thus making it harder to get hold of vinyl I'd imagine.
I only know one store, which is in Piccadilly (the centre of town)
Space, it'll take up a certain amount of space.
And I can't listen to vinyl in the car, so I'm thinking is it worth building up my CD collection.
I have about 100 CDs and hardly any of them are favourite albums of mine.
Mostly stuff I used to be into, Appetite For Destruction for example.
If I never hear it again I wouldn't have any grievances.

The pros:
Even though it takes up space, it looks nice.
The sound may be better, but I have no idea because I've never actually heard a record being played. Well, not that I know of. - but even that's not a proper pro, because I don't know for sure.

So I'm really unsure about what to do.
