So the quality of performances is higher. You also get some more recent recordings.
Though the Mercury recordings *are* classics, many of them wouldn't be my first choices for those pieces, and the sonics are not always to my taste. Also some of the music is probably not immediately of interest to the beginning collector. I think Decca's selection of works is more interesting.
I much prefer Decca's sonics, and the selection there is of some of their best recordings as recordings.
