Must have!
One of the cleanest edition - I thoroughly enjoy it whenever I learn/practice/read off of this copy. Also the three WoO sonatas are such bonus. I trust the scholarly editing by DelMar that I know Im playing the version closest to Beethovens.The only things is - it lacks fingering (because its Urtext) so this cannot be the only copy you own if you are a serious performer. I personally have the Schnabel version and the Alfred version by Gordon.

Beethovens Best
I would only recommend this series to the ultimate collector and/or scholar/performer. Some of the sonatas are very difficult to play well, while some are of intermediate/advanced level. But again, only for the serious minded!
