I still treasure them all today myself! Of course, the recordings did improve over time, with the pinnacle IMHO being the recordings done on 35mm magnetic film.
Regarding Starker's Bach Cello Suites, there's a remastering done by Thomas Fine (the son of Robert and Wilma, as I'm sure you know) for Analog Productions, which I believe is only available on 45 rpm vinyl so far. PS Audio's Copper magazine (or ezine!) had an interview with him about this remastering near the end of 2019 IIRC. But, as you say, the three-channel SACD's (which I also have myself) give a very realistic sound picture, with the three channels giving an extra dimensionality to the experience. You might also find this promo video ("unboxing the vinyl") from Acoustic Sounds interesting:

Chris, thanks for sharing the promo video. I don't buy vinyl anymore, but I wish Analogue would issue an SACD stemming from the master tapes they used to make these LPs!
I think we have quite a bit more choice in general. ;-)
And of course, one doesn't have to rely exclusively on a single platform - recently, I've been joking (in a couple of posts anyway) over at Vinyl Asylum about adding vinyl back to my system. Very, very unlikely - but I can't say with 100% certainty that it will NEVER happen! (But if it does, you'll know I've really gone off the rails!) ;-)
