JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash?

I am considering purchasing some, do they really sound better than the standards? How about the "gold" and the like?

The xrcd.com list does not have any rock music at all; but if you're looking for jazz, blues, and classical you're all set ($30 a copy). The list looks a lot like the SACD titles available. I'm very curious what the XRCD rock releases sound like, if anyone knows where I can find a complete list I'd like to browse through the selection and buy a few. Thanks, Jeff
