Download vs Boxed Edition

[Emx77]

Some quick questions:

1.) Except printed manual and DVD, does Boxed Edition have any other advantages over Download Edition?
2.) How many pages does manual have? How good is it for a newbie, not only to CMANO, but to the overall genre?
3.) Is it possible that Matrix provide potential buyers with .pdf version of the manual here on forum, as it was done with Civil War II?

I'm also keen to know how big the manual is... the WITP:AE printed manual was definitely worth the cost, and if this is similar in scope then I'd gladly pay to have a printed version.  If it's a bit on the light side (how to get the thing up and running) then I'd probably skip.
 
Could someone who has seen the pdf give an indication ?
 
(then I can pay my money and get things rolling !)
 
Thanks
Chris

Just seen the other thread... 144 pages apparently (so about half the size of the WITP:AE one) - still undecided

Hi guys,

It's a good manual - I'll see if we can provide a preview. We don't normally separate it from the release, but perhaps we can make an exception.

Regards,
