Here is my point of view on it:
Pros of a perfect collection:
+ - Confined into a nice set -- smaller and clutter free
+ - Less dvds so you don't switch as often
+ - Neat designs (usually)
+ - Cheaper
Cons of a perfect collection:
+ - If you invite a friend over and say hey look at my anime collection, it would be kinda small with just a bunch of perfect collections opposed to like 24 dvd volumes
+ - Since single volumes are not HK's so, you're not getting as good of quality as if you got single volumes but some look pretty darn close depending on the set.
+ - Some collections have really cheap designs and sometimes the dvd holders are really cheap and they fall out.
There's my view on it. Personally, it all comes down to price. If all the volumes together is really not that bad of a price or the real boxset is at a good price (like Crest of the Stars -- only 30 bucks for the REAL boxset) then I will get single volumes....but, if the price is outragous then I will go with a perfect collection.
