Comparing complete Beethoven Symphonies on SACD

Forgive me if this thread already exists, I've searched the Music forum and found none.

I'm looking to add an SACD complete Beethoven Symphonies to my collection.

Who do you like and why? Which ones have the best sonics?
I'm fond of both 'Historic Instruments' readings and Full Orchestra - Masur, van Karajan etc.

The Klieber 5th and 7th rules, but the SACD is very average in terms of sound quality. The LSO Live series is probably the best out there. The Pentatone series is right up there, too, and they are sufficiently different readings so you will want both.

Cheers.
