I have a 180 gram pressing played once, maybe twice, a domestic copy and a MFSL gold CD. I also have a Mobile Fidelity vinyl copy, sealed, which I paid dearly for and will open and play one day. The 180 gram pressing sounds very good, probably as close to as good as it's going to get given the production techniques employed at the time. However, that said, I have a 180 gram pressing of the first CSN album Deja Vu. It is noisy and simply doesn't have the presence and the detail of a MFSL copy I heard some time ago. I had heard the album and Cd many many times on different gear and was simply startled by the extra layer of information on the MFSL pressing. I think for the most part, MFSL had a lock on the process.My comments for what they're worth.
