I've been reading the stories out of sequence, because I think the art declines once it changes from Curt Swan to Win Mortimer, and I really wanted to get to the Dave Cockrum stories.
So far, the only one that's really impressed me is the Cockrum one where they fight Validus and Tharok, but that one alone justifies the price tag (especially as the original issue would most likely cost even more.) The Mordru one has nice art by Swan, but I don't think it lived up to the hype. Chronologically, it marks the beginning of Shooter's recurring problem with making villains so powerful that there was no satisfactory way of defeating them.

Excuse me but can you please direct me to the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles?

Not to diss the Showcase series which is a great collection of books and classic stories, but I much prefer the colourful hardcover LSH Archives series. They all look so nice sitting all in a row on my bookself! I guess I just can't justify spending money on black and white books anymore. Even if that means breaking my completist collector streak.

A lot of my first exposure to the Legion and comics in general were from black-and-white reprints. It doesn't phase me a bit. I'm also a cheapskate in many respects. The Showcase series is fine for me.

500 pages of comics for under $15 is hard to beat value-wise!
