Leaving analog gear powered up 7x24

What's the current best thinking on this from the perspective of equipment longevity? The topic has been much argued for computer equipment, and I'm not sure there's a consensus.

I'm almost certain it depends on the type and build of equipment (e.g. tube vs solid state), environment (avg. temperature & control, power quality), power costs, etc.

So, what do you guys do?

Elam 251 recreations

I haven't had a chance to see, hear, or touch an original. I had a chance to briefly hear a Lawson recreation of the 251 at a noisy convention floor. I have researched opinions and reviews on the Soundelux Elux 251. I was wondering if anyone who has had any experience with either of the two recreations could possibly help me make a decision.
