The $64,000 question for me is, I have the Varese (bought for cost price at the time of release) but didn't buy the Intrada sellout though I had time to. Is the new MAF Predator worth getting i.e. is it vastly superior to the Varese? Or will I remain content with the Varese?
This question from six years ago never got directly answered and frankly I am wondering the same thing. Is the MAF issue vastly superior to the Varese release?
The VS Club CD has the same distortion issue in certain louder passages, that the bootleg had. Yes, the upgrade is worth it. Plus, less hiss.
Make sure to get the second issue from Intrada. The first was missing a cue and had crossfades (I can't say if they were all eliminated in the second issue).
