I'd say a better analogy would be when someone went from watching a worn VHS tape of a favorite movie to seeing it on DVD for the first time. I couldn't believe the colors, depth, and details that I was seeing.
I'd say that that describes the current Masterworks.  The Simonson Omnibus has completely different colors in some places, which is something different.  That's not to say that there's anything wrong with that, it's just going to yield a different reading experience from previous printings.
