You're right.
My preference to the stereo releases comes from listening to these
albums with headphones, and hearing things that you wouldn't normally
hear otherwise. Sometimes there's a little chatter in the background or
a missed hit on the drum or tambourine, that doesn't show up when you
hear them through speakers..
It's all good to me!
