I would have so loved it if SDE didn't do Who's Next but rather Quadrophenia instead,the Who's Next sale for SDE is going to be kind of meh, but if it was Quadrophenia, wow a blockbuster. In Atmos of course.
On the contrary, it might be one of their biggest sellers. I know it seems like 'old news' to those of us who bought the box set last year, but a lot of people who would've liked to hear the surround mixes probably skipped it due to the high cost.

The only way I'd buy Quadrophenia on Blu-Ray again is if they redid it with Wilson at the helm.
 
I was not impressed with Quadrophenia on Blu-Ray at all. Big let down. Was hoping it would be as good as Tommy on DVD-A or SACD. It did not so I won't get Who's next! Besides, I like Who's Next, I don't LOVE Who's Next.

Your logic is seriously flawed here. Quadrophenia was mixed by Bob Pridden and Richard Whittaker, whereas Who's Next was mixed by Steven Wilson. It does not follow that because you weren't satisfied by the former that the latter will also disappoint.

Well first nothing is flawed because that's my experience. I hope another Who's Next is killer but I have enough of them to not need another I only think is just ok. My experience, no flaw. My Life House Who's Next if just fine. I hope you spend your money on the Blu Ray and it's great!

You do realize that this new standalone Blu-ray contains the same mix as in the Life House box, right? It's not like Quadrophenia, where only a few tracks were on the DVD-A in the box, and the later standalone Blu-ray was the only way to get the full album. Certainly, if Who's Next isn't your favorite album, it's probably not worth it to you to double-up on this SDE release with minimal exclusive bonus content. That's absolutely not how you framed your position in the previous post, however.
