Ok, I have just directly compared the two sacd's.

They are both very similar, it's not night and day. They are both a little lacking in bass in my opinion. I think the new mofi mix is a bit more relaxed and laid back. I think they tried to add a little bit of layering with mark's voice, because the original mix kinda feels like everything is the same volume. In the mofi, he's a little recessed. It makes me want to turn it up louder. I think it is a little quieter overall but not much. When I turn it up so that mark's voice is about the same volume on both discs, the mofi pulls ahead slightly.

It's really a matter of taste. If you love love dire straits, go ahead and buy them both [emoji16]
