Having been on both sides of the fence, no way would I ever go back to the sellside.
The money argument is not true, especially if you take your annual salary/total working hours.
As for stress being lower on the buyside, that depends on whether you're working for a Citadel or a sleepy long only mutual or pension fund. Personally, the one benefit I see to working on the sellside is that it provides you with the opportunity to develop a network that can lead to other things. My experience on the buyside has been better money, better hours, work is more rewarding, client to wall st. = events/dinners/conferences/entertainment etc., can put on my headphones and listen to Deadmau5 all day while modeling and not being bothered.
