Van Halen remasters?

I didn't want to hijack the other VH thread, so I'll ask here. Is it worth seeking out the remasters of the Roth-era albums?

If they're not that much of an improvement, I might just hunt the used bins.

I can vouch for Van Halen and Fair Warning. I found them to be dramatically better than the earlier releases.

Thanks! I noticed my local Borders had "Van Halen" on sale for $7.99 and was thinking of upgrading but wasn't sure if it was a noticeable difference.

They all sound much better than the initial CD pressings and are well worth $7.99. The best version of the first album is the DCC gold disc that came out a few years ago, but that one is out of print now and isn't cheap when you can find it.

Did they not remaster any Hagar years? I went to buy 5150 but held off after seeing that they had not.
