As with Charlie's preference, I suspect I prefer the Simon Vance versions because I listened to them first. Unfortunately, I think those are totally unavailable for purchase as the rights were withdrawn. However, US OverDrive still carries them; I don't know if that's also true of UK OverDrive.
Patrick Tull is equally terrific* so that's not a significant drawback, but it sounds as if you've got something of a pickle in terms of tracking him down. Fingers crossed. I can usually shrug off geo-restrictions, but every now and then there's an issue of monstrous proportions, as in this case, since Audible US sells the Patrick Tull versions.
*Patrick Tull does read slightly more slowly than Simon Vance, so you get more bang for your buck. Or quid.
