Okay, I've listened several times to the first disk of both v2 and v3. Both sets are outstanding, just to get this out of the way ;) However, you're right, the 2010 took some time to get used to. I sometimes had the impression that some instruments had a clearer presence in the v2 set, to name an early example the snare in the first track around 5:10. However, at this point, I'd still put my money for the 2010 set as it has the "rounder" sound and a more competent editing altogether.

To be continued....
