What matters (i.e. what is useful) is an adequate model of reality, and the fact is that photon and wave models between them predict everything we observe about electromagnetic radiation, to an astonishing degree of accuracy. The time to look for a better model is surely when you discover a phenomenon that is not calculable with exiting models (which is how Planck got involved).
Do you have an inexplicable experimental result?
