What's better ? Crush vs. First Aid

I've been using First Aid for Step 2. I must say......it is THE worst book. Highly condensed, and most of it just facts thrown right at ya without any explanation. The Derm pics are ok, but I would definitely not want to recommend it as a primary source to study from.....

So I keep hearing everyone talking about "Crush the Boards". Is it better than First Aid ? First Aid is about 350-400 pages worth of info. Ive gone through 250 pages worth, and plan on going through the entire thing one more time after I finish it the first time.......

Should I continue, or buy myself Crush the Boards ?

best advice is to get updated information. Tests change. try to get 2006-2007.
Some may say its the same as older version..but there are some nitty gritty details that have changed..which will earn you a point or two.
