Is this worth getting?

I've seen the other short films on the DVD (early films vol.1), and none of them justify the rather high price, so I was wondering if people had an opinion if it was worth buying for this film alone? I'd probably watch the other shorts occaisionally, but is this film the sort of thing i'd want to watch over and over again like 'vertical features...' or 'the falls'? normally if I am unsure i'd download something first to check if its the sort of thing that's worth buying, but this doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

I realise this board probably has about 2 visitors a year, so I will wait patiently for a response!

I should probably mention to anyone else who is curious that YES this really is worth getting! I bit the bullet and purchased the DVD and it's great, especially as it now seems to be available for not very much money at all. Reccomended to all Greenaway fans, not least because it adds another strand to the Luper/ Van Hoyton story.
I'd actually rate this as second best of all his early films, after The Falls, which is never going to be beaten by anything!
