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.
