Saint-Saens: Symphony No. 3 "Organ" surround?

I have become interested in the multichannel format and since there is a lot more audio only options on SACD than blu-ray I plan to purchase a player next month.

The holy grail piece of music for me is the thread topic and after hearing a difference organ recording on an audio only blu-ray recording I would love to find an SACD recording with more than just three channels like the one that I currently have. There appears to be a blu-ray recording, but it isn't in stock anywhere that I have seen and is listed for $120 US on Amazon if it were in stock. I will be tempted, even at this price, if it is ever in stock, but I would love a different option.

Any suggestions?

How does one choose? I already have two versions so I guess why not have four? What other recordings have you compared it to?

My current favorite is the Living Stereo - Boston Symphony / Charles Munch SACD.

I can't find a link to the other one, but it is a standard Redbook that include Carnival of the Animals.
