One of R. SY Zevin's stories in Sippurei Chassidim is of a rebbe who intended to move to Israel, but ultimately decided not to do so in order not to lose the spiritual  benefits he obtained on the second days of Yom Tov.

I found the story.
The rebbe involved was the tzaddik R. Yitzchaz Eizik of Dzidichov. After deciding to make aliya, he did not experience the "mochin" of YT on the second night of Pesach; this persuaded him to change his mind about aliyah. This is tale number 325 in RSY Zevin's book of chassidic tales.

Interestingly, the chassidic story RSBA recently told about the Ushpizin is also in this sefer (number 125) and involves the same tzaddik.
