Vonwegen, the sound quality issue will differ from listener to listener, I'm afraid.
By way of analogy, I know that there are many who prefer the taste of one cola drink to another (the old Coke versus Pepsi taste test comes to mind). Indiscriminate soft drink consumers won't be bothered much by the fact that some fast food chains offer the Pepsi product even though Coca-Cola predominates. They might not be too discerning about the taste differences in those instances, but when they stock up at the grocery store, they will continue to buy their preference out of habit.
Some Coke drinkers may have never tasted a Pepsi, thinking to themselves that since Coke outsells Pepsi by a huge margin it must be better (instead of just different). So, while avid Pepsi drinkers might say that Coke is sweeter tasting but with less cola taste, the Coke proponents might say that Pepsi isn't sweet enough and has an overpowering cola taste.
In another thread, and in my review of Another Side Of Bob Dylan, I described my comparison of the SACD (Coke) with my original LPs (Pepsi). I also noted that my findings were fairly similar on all five of the vintage Dylan albums I had sampled.
