From what I've read about the pressing quality of these sets, I would rather have a used set that is known not to be overly warped. The winner could be in for a nasty surprise.
For my set, Hobson picked them and inspected them himself for the 3 road cases he selected. If he felt the test presses were better, he would have picked them presumably. In any event, my entire set is dead quiet and flat...no dishing.

Yeah but a vacuum or clamp takes care of that problem. More of a issue is when the Classic pressing are significantly off center (youch!) or not 12 inches in diameter and thus the outer ring clamp doesn't work

There is that too. I have a few like that from CR. Really disappointing because the sound quality otherwise is so good. Then there is the so called Clarity vinyl that is noisier than the normal formulation.

Interesting I know that others have complained about the surface noise too. That's not something I've experienced but the weird thing is that the Atlas -- maybe because of it's stylus contour -- seems to trace records better and ergo more quietly.

I think it's just that some are quieter than others. I only have a couple of Clarity titles but they are noisier than any other new records I have ever bought. I have cleaned them many times and they never got any better. I have heard other peoples copies sound fairly quiet. It would be interesting to take my copy over to their place and see if there is a difference.
