I have both sets and much prefer the original “green” set. It’s printed on better paper, has clearer illustrations and lies flat when opened. In all the time I have owned them I have only come across one illustration in the “red” set that could be described as new. My advice, get the CD from Simpson’s, it costs $20 and change.

P.S. Whoever designed the slipcase for the “red” set should have his hands cut off! It’s impossible to remove a single volume when the set is in a packed bookcase.
