Forgotten Realms Campaign Box Set revised?

[Feeroper]

Hey everyone. I recently got the 1993 version of the 2e FR campaign setting. However, I know they did a revision of this box set in 1996, and was wondering if anyone knew what these revisions were? Should I try and get my hands on the revised set?

I tried googling for this info but have not found any specific info as to what was revised, and as far as I can tell the page counts of the included books in each set are the same.

I have the original 1993 boxed set myself, and I thought the 1996 release was just a visual overhaul, like what they did with the three core books, where no content was really changed, except for some minor formatting fixes.

This is my impression as well, although I'm not SURE sure...

Actually, I think I have the "revised" edition. I thought I had the original, but I have the one with Elminster on the cover of the box, which apparently was the 1996 cover. If that is the case, I can tell you with certainty the contents of the boxes are the same, as all the copyrights are from 1993.
