New Beatles Remasters, Stereo or Mono?

There's been a lot of discussion and gossip about the new remastered Beatles music that's going on sale 09/09/09. Obviously, many Beatles fans like myself are excited that the remastering process has finally come to fruition but many questions still linger as to what the new music will sound like.
EMI announced that all Stereo versions of the British LP's (plus Past Masters [now combined into one CD], Magical Mystery Tour, and Yellow Submarine) will be available individually and as a collector's box set. Also, they will be releasing a box set only of all the LP's in Mono, except Abbey Road & Let It Be for which there are no Mono mixes.
This is undoubtedly a bit of a problem because now the question arises: will Stereo sound better or will Mono? Many Beatles fans were unhappy to learn that the music will not be issued in surround sound, while others believe it would taint the original intent of the musicians to have songs jacked up on Dolby 5.1. Some argue that the Beatles intended to have their music listened to in Mono, while others argue Stereo offers a much better listening experience. Stereo did not become prevelant until the late 60's so the Beatles usually focused on Mono mixes only, but does that mean they wouldn't have preferred Stereo? And couldn't they have easily have put both Mono and Stereo on one CD?
Ultimately remastering is a difficult task especially when the music is over 40 years old. Becoming a Beatles fan in the early 90's I haven't had much else to listen to besides the '87 CD releases and whatever is available (illegally...still) online. Although I may have an occassional Mono download, I'd say 95% of the Beatles music I have is in Stereo. What's the biggest problem I have? The inability to hear certain instruments throughout an entire song. This is the one issue I am hoping the remastering engineers have been able to fix.
For example, many have complained of how the vocals were treated in the '87 CD stereo copies of Rubber Soul and Revolver. At times the singing is so powerful and up front that it's difficult to hear the music, especially guitars. There is some concern that the new remasters will give us more of the same, that is, really loud vocals! Have you ever been listening to a song from the 60's or 70's on your iPod and then been slightly jolted out of your seat by the opening of a Red Hot Chili Peppers song? Modern music can be called a lot of things and LOUD is definitely one of them.
The Love Soundtrack offers up a good example of how I think the remastering process should be handled (although Love was made in surround sound). Take the song "Revolution" from 1968. The track I have is most likely a burnt copy from the Past Masters CD in Stereo from 1988. The problem with this particular song is that both guitars are heard in the right channel, and to make matters worse, John & George both fed their heavily distorted guitars through the same amp practically overloading the archaic recording desks of that era.
The result is you cannot hear much difference between the guitars, or rather, when both guitars are playing at the same time, you cannot hear the other (in this case probably George's). How is the Love Soundtrack different? They took Lennon's guitar and kept that in the right channel and they moved Harrison's guitar over to the left channel. This is the kind of stuff we need the new remasters to do.
All in all, it looks like I'll be buying the new Stereo versions, but depending on the price I would like to have the Mono versions as well. Adding to the excitement is the packaging of the CD's which looks very nice from the samples I've seen so far. Plus, the extra DVD with commentary on each album (also put in Quicktime form on the CD's via a chip for a limited time) adds to the overall total package. A wonderful time will be had by all.
