My point of view is that if you get the fansub of an entire series and will/have watch/ed it on your pc or using your TV-out, getting the HK dvd is more than useless, it's funding sideways activities you/we dont even know of.
Personally, I got the HK sets of animes I couldn't download, either because there are 150+ eps, or because they're as old as most of you. I made an exception for the GTO (see my previous post) because I was curious that it was 10 DVDs (which is over the regular HK eps/disc ratio), but I had the entire fansubbed series on divx, so it was really out of curiosity.
Final point, if you can't watch your fansubbed animes on your tv because of some hardware limitation, then getting the HK set may be a decent alternative to the uberpriced legit sets.
Final point #2 (i'm a cheat :p), if you get the HK sets because you feel like you have something better than a set of burned dvd-rs to show on your DVD collection in your living room, then you're completely out of it, since I don't see the point of getting *sometimes* under-par quality subs/video instead of using your hands, a pair of scissors and/or a color printer to make some unique boxset of your own.
