Led Zeppelin II on vinyl

How good or bad are the remastered versions?
This in example…

I know it’s a digital remaster. Worth getting or should I hunt down a reasonably priced (if there is such a thing) US 1969 pressing?

Any thoughts from Zeppelin fans? What versions are good sounding? Not looking to pay obscene amounts of money for this…thanks!

Nice soundstage width. Before the DSD debacle

He touches on key aspects of each pressing. Disclaimer: I have no idea if he’s right or wrong as I don’t have experience comparing these versions. Just for educational purposes…https://youtu.be/7OLctnVOrPY
