Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better?


Hi all,
I'm a newbie who just purchased his first SACD player, the Marantz SA-11. I see that there are two SACD versions of Jazz at the Pawnshop: the double disk version from First Impression Music and a single disk version from Proprius. Which is better in terms of sound quality? The single disk version has most of the songs I like. But if the double disk version has better sound quality, then that's what I'll get. Thanks.

Onhwy61, I guess I don't have the sophistocated taste in jazz as you do, as I have been only listening to jazz for the last 20 years including the lame "Jazz at the Pawnshop" in it's original LP pressing. But thanks for the advice on the Chesky recordings.
Really Onhwy61, most of us listen to music to relax and enjoy, not to deconstruct and analize it. I listen to music that makes me happy, and JATP fits the bill every time. What makes you such an expert on Jazz to tell us what we should be listening to? I would think snobbish attitude like yours is what gives audiophiles a bad name. My post asked a specific question about two versions of the same music. I did not ask for a lecture on your taste in music. If you don't want to offend, don't look down on the taste of music of others. JATP has been around 30 years for a good reason - people enjoy listening to it.
Ohywy61, I'm just having a good time fooling with ya :-) My purpose for listening to music is different than yours. I don't want to be uncomfortable listening to music. Excitement, yes! Sadness, yes! Happiness, yes! Pain/discomfort/boring, no! I've had my fill of wondering (improvisational) jazz - everytime I listen to it I wonder what in the hell I'm listening to and get Sunday church bored. Music is not highly subjective, it is all subjective. Have fun with your unconfortable jazz. Hey what's wrong with Pat Boone? I thought his sister was hot! She lit up my life :-)
Hey, who are you calling young? Pretty soon, I'll be getting my first colonoscopy.

ABBA, the greatest band to come outside this country since Air Supply. Happy music! Oh, how I miss my youth.
What was my question again? Oh yea. Will someone answer my question?!!! I'm going to AA. May be I'll get some answers there. I gotta go listen to my Debby Boone album and go to my happy place.
