Well, we must have boobies, right?
I see your point about Conan Saga.
I was mainly thinking about the best b&w representation of BWS' artwork but from the standpoint of reading a comprehensive, coherent tale, the Essential makes more sense.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the contents of Conan Saga?
Despite the absense of boobies (a big issue I hasten to add) I'm considering ordering a load to replace my SSoCs, which are getting pretty yellowed and brittle.
My main consideration is crispness of reproduction.
I presume the b&w artwork in the Conan Sagas is sharper than the originals.
If not, fergedaboudut.
