Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?

So I got a copy of the MFSL pressing of DSotM. I haven't done extensive comparisons, but one major thing I feel is missing from my original CD (which I have no idea right now exactly WHICH CD) is the kind of surround effects present in some of the tracks. MFSL sounds more like an acoustic cut, while the original CD sounds like an effects CD.

Is this right, and what people like about the MFSL pressing? Help me be a cognoscenti please.

Pink Floyd's Toshiba Pro, especially most popular albums, are quite expensive and not always available on ebay. I cooled off to Pink Floyd but occasionally play original German WYWH, my favourite PF album. German pressing is okay, nothing special.

Thanks everyone, I thought MFSL CDs were top notch, but man, what a let down this particular one was, especially given how many rave about it.

I just learned something! :)

MFSL CD of 'Inner Mounting Flame' by Mahavishnu Orchestra is the best remastered CD I've ever heard, great job. But that was before MFSL got bought out by Music Direct. That CD is not too far from the record and incomparably better than Sony Mastersound remaster.

What about the 2011 Capitol remaster? Sounds good to me compared to other CD remasters.
How good is the 2009 Japanese?
