The quality of this 60 year old effort is remarkable and the artistry deserves its high reputation.
It is one of my favoured music compositions and I rank the conducting of Bertini and Chandler up with the best.
I guess the special audio from vinyl can be heard and valued by some and I was once very paranoid about it and hated digital. And with valid reasons - the DACs of the day were crude and made the music sound harsh and unenjoyable. It has taken decades but tecnology can now process the bits into nice analog. But take no notice of me because I really cannot detect any improvement with hi-rez over 16/44.
Bottom line is what you personally like and want. And the Klemperor Mahler 2 is something worth having in any serious classical collection. Deciding what price to pay is something only really of concern to a personal bank account.
What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences.
