XRCD: to be or not to be...

How are these new xrcds? I see them on various websites. Pricey. Are they worth it? I could get, for example, Bill Evans Waltz for Debbie for $26.99. Is that a rip or the going rate? I own the regular cd. Will the new format do it? How about, compared to, say, 20 bit remastering ones? Anyone with experience re the xrcd would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys. warren

Well, I already see that Tower Records has them for significantly less. About $23 or so. Still, I need your feedback...peace... warren
