Yeah, pretty much this. The Beatles didn't start putting thought into their stereo mixes until The White Album.
Personally, I could take either mono or stereo for RS, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, and MMT, but I'd rather have mono given the option since it's much more "natural" sounding. Anything before RS on stereo just sounds fucking awful, though.
