Dire Straits and Eagles XRCD worth $37?

I just saw these discs on Acoustic Sounds web site for $37 each and was wondering if anybody had them. I have both already via redbook.

I'm not sure about the redbook layer of the hybrid relative to the XRCD, but the folks at SH Forums are reporting good things about the SACD layer. Apparently, they did an excellent job with the 5.1 mix as well. I've not had a chance to get back up to Florida to hear my copy yet, so I'm just reporting what others seem to be saying. The good news, is that price-wise you'll do better (around $20 IIRC).
