Yeah, I'm that way with the Verdi Requiem. There are approximately 40 different performances, with varying orchestras, choruses, soloists, conductors and venues. Have only spun eight of them on my (relatively) new BCD-3 and am panting to hear and compare the remainder; however, I'm probably on my last CD player - - difficult to top perceived perfection. BTW: My latest purchase of the late Beethoven Quartets (Lindsay String Quartet) is a problematic keeper.
