Doesn't matter for casuals who never read it before but for us its disappointing.
Worse? Yes.

Ruined? Nah. That's what I was trying to say in my earlier post; it's everyone's own prerogative, but, while disappointing, we all know the story behind what happened and it reads as well as ever.

You also, I'm assuming, haven't actually seen the three issues without tones in full, so let's be fair.

if you already have the original issues, why do you want to get the ultimate collection? you get the exact same thing...I see it as just a waste of money
Pretty much what Abnormal Freak said, both the positives and the negatives.

At the end of the day, though, it's a product that will hold up much longer than individual issues and is much easier to read. I wouldn't do it for everything, but I'm a big enough fan of the Mirage series that I don't mind double-dipping.
