As for myself... I prefer to stay traditional. There's just much more satisfaction in taking a deer with a traditional firearm, whether it's a sidelock percussion or flintlock... I know you modern ML fellas have your thing and that's fine... but, where's the cutoff point? Where do you reach a point where you no longer feel like you're hunting with a muzzleloader?

I can only speak for myself, but I personally like the variety. One day I get in the mood to shoot a flintlock, the next it may be a new model inline. I don't own a smokeless, but fully expect to own a 700ML conversion to a .45 smokeless one of these days. Why? No good reason other than it's something different to experiment with.
