Richter in Hungary - Worth Getting?

[Holden]

I have heard so many good reviews about this but I already have a lot of what Richter recorded. However, most of the reviews I read said even if you have so and so (e.g. Richter in Prague) you must get this as it's so much better. It's pricy but if it's worth it I'll get it. Also, does someone have a listing of the works on these 14 CDs?

The entire box is actually on Youtube. I've sampled it and reluctantly gave it a pass. The duplication is more than I can handle.
