Poll question: For classical music snobs: Mussorgsky -- Which Boris Godunov should I buy?

Don't want the Rimsky-Korsakov.

3. I own the Wiener Phil's with Ghiaurov

So I don't feel the need so much for Christoff's Rimsky-Korsakov version, I need either a pure or Shostakovich-ized Boris now. I did hear it once and remember it being pretty enjoyable, however I still really dig Ghiaurov as Boris. :D
