If it boiled down to need, I'd still have my Renegade and nothing else. These guns fascinate me. Its not like a center fire, where you buy the cartridges, load it, and shoot. Granted some cartridges shoot better then others, but with a muzzleloader the accuracy of that rifle is solely dependent on how well you do your job. I honestly think it is the challenge that muzzleloaders present to the shooter to make them work good. That is their attraction.
