Early digital recordings on vinyl vs. CD?


There are many late 70's and early 80's classical recordings that were recorded digitally and released on vinyl, and then subsequently on CD when the technology became available.
Is there any reason to avoid digital vinyl given that these were early digital recordings?
To put it another way, for these early digital recordings, is there any advantage to getting them on vinyl as opposed to sticking to CDs?

In collecting vinyl I have stuck to analogue recordings and avoided digital, but this means I have avoided some outstanding performances.

What are your experiences, and what do you think?

Telarc is famous for early digital classical...but most of the majors such as RCA, EMI, Denon, etc were releasing digital recordings during this era pre cd....as with most audiophile classical...they incorporated the best equipment at the time...and these are readily available for cheap at most thrift, lp shops....
The early Soundstream digital recordings are primarily what is available...this technology dates from the mid 70s or earlier...with 16/50 resolution downconverted to 16/44...they even had superior sampling back then...ha
