Beatles albums.. CD or iTunes?

I hardly ever buy any CDs anymore because everything I might buy is on Spotify, except The Beatles. I have most of what I want except for Rubber Soul and Revolver. I have them on LP and I looked on iTunes. They are 12.99 each. I can get the CDs on Amazon for 9.99. Is there any reason why I would want to spend more for the "mastered for iTunes" version? I can rip an MP3 if I have the CD. I'm not sure I see the advantage.
I also took a look at iTunes radio. They have all these stations that paly something I like then something I don't like, I get 5 skips in an hour or I can buy more skips for a dollar two ninety eight, or something.. one could go broke... I would be skipping 5 songs every 10 minutes. On Spotify, 12.99 a month and I can skip or like, listen to albums, playlists, or radio. Apple seems to have a crappy business model going, unless I'm missing something.
Anyway, I'm thinking I'll just order the two Beatle CDs from Amazon unless I'm missing something.

    Go find used CD's.  I was just at a local store and they had a killer collection... IN THE 50 CENT EACH BIN!
     
    I was there selling DVD's (and got about 80 cents apiece for 120 of them).

    Hi.
     
    I do not have any idea as to what the quality is on iTunes, but their version is lousy compared to the quality of the CD's. If it doesn't matter to you ... of course!

    Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

    On the CDs, you get both Mono and Stereo mixes of the songs! I had Rubber Soul (as part of the double set of the first 8 albums), but not Revolver, so I ordered it. If these are packaged like the set, they're in LP repro sleeves. Highly recommended release.
     
    Edit: Talk about synchronicity! I checked my email for the Amazon order for Revolver and saw a second new email.
