No. Just like I don't own a single speciality, or regular commercial score release, of a score. And I don't miss any of it!

i'd continue to seek out the unearthed music and improved sound of the specialty labels no matter what the format but i moved away from playing music off a computer a few years ago and have no desire to go back - my cd player and amp are dependable machines, computers are a pain in the ass - plus i like physical media and i'd like to see it persist - the other genre i collect, metal music, has seen a huge increase in vinyl traffic over the last few years, instigated by the bands themselves and endorsed by the fans, the genre is well known for having a lot of imagery on its album covers and inlays, and when the extra effort is made it's really appreciated, and i like to think film scores, with all the all the support media that's already in place, not to mention all the details about the how the projects developed under the star/studio system, also have plenty to offer in that regard.
in twenty years time am i still going to have the computer drives i'm using now? is my whole identity going to be contained in the cloud? or am i more likely to have a decent den to sit in with all this cool stuff around me?

I would likely buy less if it was download only. The only times I ever go the download route now are when I absolutely must have the music in question and can't find it anywhere else or when I just want to cherry-pick a couple great tracks off an otherwise lackluster album.
Part of the appeal for me with specialty label releases are the gorgeous art designs, the extensive and informative liner notes, and the anticipation of waiting for your music to arrive in the mail and ripping it open to finally have it there in your hands. Not to mention the signatures. Downloading a digital signature just wouldn't carry the same appeal. Also, those e-pens can be awfully difficult to write with.

No, but if they brought out something I really wanted on Download only and somebody offered me a CDR I'd accept it!

No for me as well. CDs only.
Also, it's not accurate to assume money would be saved with downloads. Bandwidth/electricity costs are tremendous and easily outpace storage costs for discs in most instances.
