Sinatra MFSL SACDs vs. Capitol Years 1998 remasters - which are better?

Hey all,

I know there's a thread somewhere that encompasses part of this discussion, at least, but I can't find it, so here goes:

If one owns the Sinatra MFSL SACDs, are they the last word for those albums as far as digital remasters are concerned? Or are other, earlier remasters — I'm thinking in particular of the 1998 "Capitol Years" UK box — still essential to own? I own a copy of the box that's missing "Swingin' Session" and "Nice N' Easy" and I figured I'd give away the other ones for which I have the SACDs... IF they're not essential. Please advise, audiophiles and Sinatra nuts!

Ah, terrific, that's the thread I was looking for! Other opinions are always welcome but it certainly looks like you've done your homework. Thank you!
