I prefer it. No limiting or NR (the NR is a bit bothersome in places), and the EQ (or lack thereof) isn't quite as hyped.

I have the AQO box, but never got the MyGen one (I do have the single-disc Japanese mono reissue from a few years ago, and the stereo DE). If the new transfers are good, those might be worth getting.

Remastered you mean?
I'm quite honestly amazed at how often this stuff is getting remastered. This is the third iteration of My Generation since 2008; I'm not sure if the earlier CD (with the alt cover) had unique mastering or not. While the DE was released elsewhere, this will still be the third version that includes the mono mix. I believe I made a comment a few months ago how it wasn't likely that certain albums would be newly remastered...guess I was wrong about that.
