It is awfully difficult to define "marginally" all that clearly in this discussion. I think the difference might be a bit more than marginally, but less than majorly (no pun intended), if that makes any sense to you without hearing it yourself.

You are right, though, about requesting both a higher sampling rate and a higher bit rate, if PG Music has recorded the masters this way and can provide them. Keith also makes a great point: I am also willing to pay more for the better quality files.
