Complete sets can be a mixed bag, but it all depends on what you want.
And, in some cases, it's the only available way to get a performance
you want. I have a number of complete sets of Beethoven -- several of
symphonies, concertos, quartets, etc. And of Mozart chamber works, and
Schubert quartets, etc. I also have many, many single recordings of works
that have a personal meaning to me.
