Irrespective of format (analogue or digital) I could not survive with a core of only 50 albums. Although I do not have the amount of time to listen to albums at home as I used to, I do spend a lot of time listening to music on the move (i.e, flying, driving, on trains, in hotels). That is another reason for me preferring digital, although I still have some home made "compilation cassettes" from the 70's and 80's that I played recently on my Sony Pro Walkman (and very good they sounded too).

thats fair Geoff, I see vinyl as a ritual where I will listen to a whole side, whereas with Spotify or cd it's too easy to change tracks midway and not settle down and listen. Vinyl is an expensive treat
