original London, MFSL, UHQR. Couple of performances by other orchestras/conductors, but I also prefer the Solti.
BTW, the original pressing was mastered by Ted Burkett, London/Decca's ace lathe man.

Quite a difference in market cost between the 3 - the UHQRs are a fortune, the MFSLs pricey, and the Londons reasonable.
The biggest jump IMO is between the original London and the MFSL.
The MFSL is good enough that I don't play the UHQR that often.
In terms of spectacular sonics--deepest bass, etc.--none of the three can compete with London's digital release from the 1980's, but the performance isn't as good as the Solti.
Since I got the London and MFSL locally, the London was $3 and the MFSL $8. Both were purchased over the last few years. The UHQR was free, part of a collection I was given.
