SS Hell Pack - Which version do I keep?

Through a recent series of misfortunes, I've now acquired two versions of the 3 movie set known as SS Hell Pack http://www.amazon.com/SS-Hell-Pack-T.../dp/B0011NVC4S

One is your typical 3 disc set, shoved into a basic thick paper type case.

The other is a standard sized DVD case but I'm assuming it's holding 3 DVDs inside.

I need to get rid of one but I'm not sure if there's any real differences between the two, other than the case. On one hand, the one with 3 cases is clearly taking up more space. If through some act of magic, these films are released on blu-ray and in an even more unlikely event, I end up owning one or more of them, it would be easy enough to sell off the individual films.

On the other hand, if I keep the standard sized case, containing multiple discs and there's some sort of upgrade or I get one or more films in some 50 movie set, I'm pretty much stuck with it since I can't easily just sell off a disc by itself.

I'm hoping, no matter how unlikely, there's some Nazi DVD expert out there that can help me with my dilemma.

Both have the exact same content.

The first release of the set had 3 separate keep cases, with their own individual artwork, housed in a slipcase.

The new release had all 3 (separate) discs inside a 3-disc keep case, with combined/altered artwork.

The content is the same, so keep whatever pleases you aesthetically

EDIT: Both packs were commanding pretty high prices at one point in time, I wonder what happened?

It's been going in and out of stock pretty frequently but it looks like more than a few people found it elsewhere and started selling at amazon.

I managed to get both sets earlier this year from Barnes and Noble but I had an order with Amazon back in February that I completely forgot about. Amazon sent me a shipping soon notice last week and I couldn't get it cancelled, so now I have both.

I'll probably end up getting rid of the larger set since shelf space is limited. Thanks for the help.

The SS Hell Pack #2 was fetching quite a bit when I checked on Ebay this year. Odd that it looks like prices have calmed down since then.
