Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?

Has anyone heard or compared the MFSL version of Darkside (released inthe 80's I think) vs the new re-master by Jamse Guthrie in the EMI "Discovery" or "Experience" editions CDs?

The newer versions are a lot cheaper and may benefit from todays more advanced technology, but MFSL versions have been reference standards for years.

I am looking to pick up one or the other so any input would be appreciated.

MFSL CD is OK, in my opinion, nothing more. But I didn't compare it to newer editions, only to vinyl. That was kind of funny indeed.

Do you also have the original 80's version? Curious to know how much different the re-masters are from that version.

My first impressions of the 2011 CD remasters are that they are fairly detailed and a little more natural and 3D sounding, but slightly laid back vs my memory of prior CD versions. I have not done a direct comparison yet.
