Music Matters Blue notes

I have Art Blakey's "Night in Tunisia", and I think it's the classic 180g re-issue.
The sound is pretty good (maybe a little bit dry) but the soundstage is fairly limited. I am just wondering if the Music Matters version would be that much better? Any thoughts from people who have both? Or other MM re-issues in cases where they also have stereo re-issues?
Thanks for your help,
B

As a Music Matters subscriber, in the case of "A Night in Tunisia", the answer is an unequivocal yes. Blakey's drum set never sounded better than on the title track.

Also check out the Horace Parlan "Just Us Three". I was not familiar with his music prior to subscribing, but this album is incredible: great performance and amazing sonics!

Maybe I'm so used to the RVG piano sound that I find I am able to listen around it. I agree, the Mobley album is spectacular, even better than the 200 gm version.
