My local record dealer has reduced Harnoncourt's Beethoven cycle at 22
Euro.  Is it worth investing (for someone owning Gardiner, Klemperer,
Leibowitz, Walter, Wand, Zinman and the new Norrington cycles)?  Which
are the highlights of his cycle?

Of the above mentioned cycles I'm not so impressed by Walter ('against'
Wand) and Zinman ('against' Gardiner).  Klemperer and Leibowitz (not so
great in 4,6 and 8, otherwise highly recommendable) stand on their own.
