Have you tried Dohnanyi's version of Wozzeck? It's coupled with Schoenberg's Die glückliche Hand. Basically, according to my formula as listed above, it's one of the best CDs of Both Berg and Schoenberg.
And about the "more music for the dollar" comment, I should mention this: when I started being serious about collecting classical music, and after I created my little formula, I decided to create a list of core pieces by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert to start my collection with, and singled out what seemed to be the most acclaimed performances of said works. I originally created the formula so that, the higher a recording's score was, the higher priority it would be for me to get it should I spy it at Border's. FYI, the highest score at the time belonged to Dennis Brain's recording of the Mozart Horn Concertos.
