SUPER CONGRATS!! You are actually a "Kemper Guy" from what I have learned about you. I mean that in a good way of course.
You appreciate classic guitars and classic amps, the Kemper is as close as you can get to the actual sound of an actual amp with an actual cab, that I've ever heard. The AXE is AMAZING and I"m more of an AXE guy as I"m all about the software control/click on the computer screen, drag and drop, massive fx ability, etc, but for the purist, the KEMPER is Still the way to go IMHO. Even the more hardcore, corksniffing, Tube Only, Junkies, LOVE the Kemper. If can litterally sound like ANY amp and cab ON EARTH. And you can download EVERY AMP/CAB ON EARTH FOR FREE from their web site. So it's like have an unlimited number of amps/cabs that really do sound like the amps/cabs they were meant to sound exactly like. That's the whole point of the KEMPER IMHO.
If you want a profile of a very rare, obscure, amp, you can find it, download it, and have it ready to record in just a few minutes. The AXE FX is a different beast, it has a pre set number of amps that it emulates and most folks tend to use one of the 5150 blocks as it's got wads of gain
So you may notice many AXE FX records sounding just a bit similar. They just have fewer amps to choose from and the best sounding ones get used by a lot of people. This isn't a bad thing per se, but I am starting to hear a lot of similarity in certain types of bands/tones that use the AXE.
I plan on buying an axe once everyone else is done with them and my students could afford one, when all the chips they use in them are no longer made
But I plan to try to use every amp that isn't being used to try to get my own tone. Sorta like the 11. EVERYONE playing heavy stuff starts drifting to the MESA IIC+ and you can't blame them, but I found myself using the various BOGNERS instead as everyone else was using the MESA. Then I bought an external preamp (THE MYASNIKOV CUSTOM SOLDANO CLONE in the fx loop) so as to have an option that other 11 Rack folks just didn't have.
That's my real point here, make it sound like you

ordered a Kemper
a big purchase for me tbh so I hope it's going to be as good as I imagine
Not got a delivery date as the white model is on a preorder but I like the white one as it looks more 'original series start trek' so I dont mind hanging on a bit longer for it.
I need to get better at playing to justify this
