I was curious to see how this mastering compared to UCGQ-9019 (which I also have) so I bought this one as well.
They are VERY close (unsurprisingly). This one is mastered a bit more loudly (but has identical DR to UCGQ-9019, except for one track where this release is a smidge better, so that isn't a bad thing in this case).
Either this or UCGQ-9019 are fine choices - you don't need both, so flip a coin and keep one.
