I have a few collections that feature pro-substitution chords:

Each of these disks have two versions of each song, one with the published chords, and another with the author's substitutions. Personally, I like the Dick Hyman changes (#3 and 14) better than the Frank Mantooth changes (8 through 12). I like the way he moved the bass lines with the substitutions. On the other hand, the Mantooth books sometimes introduce some interesting slight dissonances.

Could you provide a sample we could listen to from any of the collections you mentioned above?
