Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better?

Hi all,
I'm a newbie who just purchased his first SACD player, the Marantz SA-11. I see that there are two SACD versions of Jazz at the Pawnshop: the double disk version from First Impression Music and a single disk version from Proprius. Which is better in terms of sound quality? The single disk version has most of the songs I like. But if the double disk version has better sound quality, then that's what I'll get. Thanks.

Even if the music is "lame", I always remember the LP as one of the most magical and ambient recordings ever.

I am not sophisticated in matters of jazz either, but I think Miles Davis Kind of Blue on SACD is also pretty good.

In general, I would rather listen to good music and a great recording than great music and a bad recording, which is perhaps what defines an "audiophile".

Best wishes.

What do you call it when someone affects a condescending attitude and then, while feigning interest in someone's tastes or experiences says:

"Are your familiar with ________" "Have you listened to ________" and/or "have you ever been to ________"

and then fills in the blank with something totally obscure?

"Jazz" at the Pawnshop would be perfect for that type of person.

I am horrified and embarrassed that it took an old school piano teacher to remind me that contemporary instrumental music is NOT necessarily "jazz".
