Simon,
I dont think you are in a minority at all(just see the ratio of stereo vs mono boxed sets produced), you just want what will suit your tastes the best and what will make your very impressive system shine.
Nothing wrong with that at all, Enjoy!
Martin.

P.S. The Beatles back catalogue on Wax cylinder would still be more impressive than some of the middle of the road [censored] that passes for Genius these days! 'Can you hear me Coldplay, you one trick ponies'...'grrrr,Khaaaaan'.
