Weiss or Hodges for Henty?

[choirfarm]

Has anyone listened to both of these guys? Which one did you like better. It looks like Hodges is unabridged and Weiss is abridged. We listened to Weiss doing the Cat of Bubastes and really enjoyed it. However, his stuf is more expensive but it is CD's instead of MP3. But we could use Hodges stuff on my dh's ipod for our long vacations. He is having a sale right now, but I haven't listend to anything of his. Anyone?

Christine,

You can download Jim Hodges version of With Lee in Virginia (http://www.jimhodgesaudiobooks.com/hab_lee_dl.html) for free to get an idea if you like it or not.

We've had both and prefer Weiss. He does different voices for different characters. Hodge was hard to follow who was saying what.
