Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?


Has anyone heard or compared the MFSL version of Darkside (released inthe 80's I think) vs the new re-master by Jamse Guthrie in the EMI "Discovery" or "Experience" editions CDs?

The newer versions are a lot cheaper and may benefit from todays more advanced technology, but MFSL versions have been reference standards for years.

I am looking to pick up one or the other so any input would be appreciated.

the real draw for.dsotm is the surround sound mixes for those that care to indulge...i would agree with Dhl.assessments...the new stereo mix is not a quantum leap from previous releases...however I dont own the 80s non.mofi version...i tend to listen to the 03 hybrid...that being said...in total agreement with new Animals remaster...extremely well.done
I have heard the whole suite of Darkside in the boxset this weekend and love the 5:1 mix the best. I think Guthrie did a superb job. I can't wait to play them at a soundcheck on our arena rig. I know everyone adores the Parsons mix, but I really do love the new remasters. I especially love Us and Them and Gig.
So what is the very best sounding DSOM cd IYO?
I do like the recently re-mastered "The Wall" cd. Deeper sounding with more air and seperation. Dynamics are a little softer but that is fixed by level matching. At the same spl the new version sounds very nice. Can't wait to try "animals" because the original is ok in the car but not in the home. Meddle is also better. Any comments on "wish you were here"?
