Should I get these games?

As part of the book blitz Xmas traditionally hits us with, my store got
in two RPGs called _Transhuman Space_, and _Nobilis_. They both look
great (esp. the latter), should I invest in them?

Nobilis is essentially Sandman the RPG, plus some other stuff, and is
filled with Borgstrom-y goodness. I appreciate my copy, though I don't
fully grok it.

I don't have Transhuman space, but lots of people apparently love it.
It's hard SF (well, arguably hard SF, except maybe for the uplifted
animals) for optimists.

Nobilis is fun to read, but I find it intimidating as something I might
try to run. I feel much the same about Transhuman Space, but more
because it's just enjoyable to read about the future the writers have
constructed, than to figure out where a group of PCs could fit in and
make their mark.

Nobilis is currently on its way to me from Amazon. It sounds very
interesting. (Also on its way is the The Authority RPG, which I saw in
a shop here for NZ$90 and on Amazon for NZ$42.)
