So after buying three new CDs each of Chroma Key and Fate's Warning, I have decided that none of the 6 are as good as the OSI project.
Moore's YOU GO NOW and Fate's FWX are the best of each group and both are very good. I could have done completely without the other 4 purchases.
IMHO, the OSI project is superior to all these releases -- it must be a synergy thing, you know, 1+1+1=4.
For those interested enough to sort through an OSI project day-to-day diary written by Portnoy, go here:

If you own the "Limited Version" of OSI, be sure to read Portnoy's diary amendment -- this is the most fascinating section because the bonus materials contain the original tapes from the week spent actually on the basic rehearsals and in the recording studio.
Then the tapes are "transformed" by Kevin Moore into the final production that you hear as the OSI..........an amazing difference. It is a real hoot to hear the original tapes long after you have become accustomed to hearing the final release -- it gives you a sense of how Kevin Moore operates in the studio.............fun stuff.
This is what Portnoy reveals in his diary amendment.........he is stating that the final release is a big surprise and sounds nothing like he thought it might after he had finished his sections of the recording project.
