I agree with you to an extent. On one hand, you have a reissue that was bare bones at best, and I'm being generous describing it as such, that still sold like hot cakes. It is now out of print but still in demand:

On the other, you have a release by Divebomb with great packaging, liner notes and possible bonus material (if any exists). Again, I own a copy of this already but I'd be the first in line to buy a new version.
