What I concerns are:
1. Tape still have life time, if 1TB tape damage then we need more time to
re-built or re-create it, except you implement dual copy or PPRC VTS and it
cost you more.
Tape (real one) can be duplexed. In that case you can read data just after the tape failed. BTDT. For large amounts of data real tape is much cheaper and more scalable than virtual tape on disk. It is true, it has been true for years. The only change is treshold, a definition of "large amount".

2. Tape migration is my concern, I think disk to disk migration is more
faster solution. I can't find any migration approach for B20 to TS7740 or
TS7740 to another new model, except using COPYCAT or TAPECOPY utility, read
all  tapes to cache and copy back to other tape subsystem
I see no problem with migration from tape to tape, even incompatible ones like STK and IBM. BTDT.

3. IBM Tape drives cannot read each other, TS1120, TS1130, TS1140...If a
new model comes and we need to preform another migration....copy again and
again from tape to another tape system because of new drives.....TRUE
Not true. There is some compatibility window, wider for R/O, more narrow for Read/Write. Compatibility window of IBM is similar to STK.
