Better cover design, great print, and the pages have a peculiar penguin smell and feel. The introduction and commentary are probably just a bit more academic in oxford classics, but so what?

Penguin classics started using shitty, thin paper recently. Older ones were much better

The Oxford covers are objectively better, so is their paper quality. A lot of Penguin covers are simply abysmal or at the very least unspectacular.

Anyone who says this looks better than the above is simply lying.

Oxford has universally better translations than Penguin. Not always the best translation available, but never far from it.
Penguin translations are almost universally shit tier.

This. Compare, for example, Penguin's Meditations by Aurelius with Oxford's and anyone will see what you mean.

Yes. Because Oxford Classics crossed me, and I'll never forgive them.

I prefer Puffin
