How are the blue note RVG CD's?

After seeing a recent thread about the pricey used Blue Note LP's, esp. japanese pressings, what are your opinions of the sound quality of the recently re-mastered by Rudy Van Gelder editions, done I think in 1999-2002 or so, on a 24 bit system. I bought a bunch for around $12.99 each, and on my Rega Jupiter 2000 think they sound pretty darned good. Anyone else?

A pile of new Blue Note RVGs reissues are forthcoming this Feb (2005) according to my local retailer.
I just bought a pile of the currently available RVG remastered and am happy.

FYI,
Very nice photo-essay on RVG in the current issue of Tracks magazine(John Lennon on the cover). Of course, the photos are by Francis Wolff of Blue Note. Cheers,

Excellent -- and unusual - interview with RVG in Tape Op one or two issues back.
