Who makes the 180g copy? I have about 50 MFSL half speed masters and can attest that their vinyl formulation is superb - very quiet and detailed sounding. However, some of the MoFi's sound bright and equalized. I have not heard the MoFi version of the Band, so I do not know if that one was a dud for this label. Keep in mind that just because a record is marketed as "180g" doesn't mean it is any good, but does stack the cards in your favor slightly. Since the quality of the different labels varies all over the map, knowing the record company that makes the 180g version would be most helpful. All that being said, I would probably opt for the sealed version - a safer bet because at least, it is new.
