How does the 5.1 remix compare to the old 4.0 mix (which was repurposed to 5.1 in 2004)?

Can't say for me. But i found it on the Nektar Facebook Group:

Finding the discussions on the CD /2.0 versions on the new box interesting, but if the point of the exercise was to present the ultimate version of RtF in the studio I think the Quad layer of the Blu-ray is a huge success.
I had a boot DVD that was sourced from the original quad vinyl that I had been raving about for years, this is sourced from the master tapes, so better and beyond other level
You are sitting in the middle of Chipping Norton Studio with Roye, Ron, Mo, and Taff surrounding you playing the album as it was recorded on the LP. Its like they were there with you, every note crystal clear, separate, and distinct - voices, harmonies, all of it, its that intimate
I think this mix was light years ahead of its time, I’d put it up against anything Wilson or anything anyone else has done as far as a surround treatment, from the first notes it just grabs you, and I think it even surpasses the new 5.1 version which is not at all bad, but seems a lot more restrained in comparison"
He may be unaware that the quad mix was already released on SACD in 2004. (repurposed to 5.1)

I've got an email from JPC that this release is delayed. Will be released in December.
Got mine along with my Camel box today and so far everything is far out and groovy as I welcome back an even better musical version of the 70's. Everything great about music in the 70's with super modern high 
definition playback, it only took about 50 years for the hardware to catch up with the software! So far the 5.1 sounds really good...but the Quad is next level killer 
don't know how well it stacks up with the old SACD yet but one thing I do know is I understand my equipment a lot better these days so I know I am hearing everything at the best quality my system can give me. So ROCK on babies!

Ordered last night from RAREWAVES [about $62 delivered to New York] ...... Looking forward to hearing it as I missed the multi~CH SACD back in the early 00's!
Glad everyone's enjoying it.

It had previously dropped to ~$48, IIRC.
Just received my copy from Rarewaves
Listening to it now.
Not listened to this album for some while.
All sounding groovy.
Nice Box Set presentation too
I have the SACD (2004) version, too.

Which equates to just over £37 UK pounds. I often wonder what the price difference is like between the States and UK prices, on surround releases. In this case its virtually identical.
I paid Rarewaves just over £38.
Wow! Dammit. My copy from Walmart is arriving today. At the time I ordered from them....it was cheapest price. Last couple years, Amazon has historically NOT been cheaper than others.
The live show from Muenster is very good. Part One and Part Two.
Yeah, I see that now, coming from England. OK, I'm happy again. lol
As long as I feel I got a decent price (based on the full price), I don't let the fact that I didn't get the best price get me down. In most cases you still got a great deal compared to the full price, and the difference between the price you paid and the lowest price isn't that great. There are exceptions of course.
The trend some of these deluxe editions are following makes it hard to bite on them until after their release date. As and example, no one that bought that Who box for $300 has to feel good about it. It wasn't too difficult to get it almost half that price by waiting and shopping around. Even worse, Pink Floyd releasing the stand-alone BR for $20 vs $300 for those that bought the box set. BTW, I've seen that box set for around $200, as well.
On the other hand, if it sells out quick, and it's something that you really wanted......
We are starting to get the same thrills as gamblers. LOL
Edit.. I ordered from Walmart as well. Hopefully mine will arrive today as well but, damn, am I backed up with music. What a great problem to have.

My Nov 23 Wally pre-order hasn't been shipped. They could not confirm my cancellation today due to the possibility it is being "prepared"
Placed an Amazon order.
And, my copy from Walmart arrived today via Fedex.
