Hungarian rhapsodies

I'm currently trying to learn the second hungarian rhapsody and am wondering which edition is the best to use.

I have in my possesion the "new Liszt edition" (NLE) and the classic stiftung edition published by breitkopf and hartel and edited by peter Raabe.

It seems each of these editions have shortcomings: the NLE uses the last known edition published as its primary source, which may not always be reliable, since Liszt never approved some of variants or alterations while the stiftung edition uses to few sources.

what do you guys think
