going broke on barking

[cacophony]

okay so "going broke" is a little dramatic. but i'm in the midst of a huge and expensive home remodeling project and i'm trying to watch my pennies. i've been waffling about whether to order the super extra special deluxe release with all of the extra tracks, especially because the conversion rate puts that purchase at about $80 when all is said and done.

and then there's the japanese release with the bonus YDS track. YDS is one of my faves but it's album-only and a japan itunes gift card that can cover the purchase of the entire album cost something like $40.

so i'm trying to figure out where my money is best applied. do i bust my entertainment budget and just throw $120 at my favorite musical act? the completionist in me cries YES because i can't stand the idea of not having every release. do i blow $40 just to get my hands on one version of YDS? do i instead drop $80 because at least i'll get multiple new tracks at that price?

fellow dirties, your advice is needed.
