Nat'l Lampoons Christmas Vacation - worth the upgrade?

Sounds like the commentary is so-so. I own the pan and scan version and it looks alright to me...I know, I know, you get disowned for saying that here.

Is the widescreen (special edition) upgrade worth me putting the P&S on eBay?

Commentaries are my favorite type of extra, but I found the one on this DVD to be a total bore.

The most substantial difference between the two discs is the anamorphic widescreen presentation on the new release. If you're happy with the look of the previous DVD, I don't see a compelling reason to upgrade.

What he said. Commentaries are my favorite DVD feature & this is one of my favorite comedies extra, but what a D-U-L-L commentary. For me it's worth upgrading for the anamorp aspect, but if that doesn't mean that much to you, than keep what you got.
