I haven't voted yet, but I must say that I perfer PoA/GoF as a unit,
actually.

I think that those who prefer PS/SS & CoS might like them because they are
more stand-alone.  The arc was just beginning and those two books are more
childlike in their approach.  It starts getting "Real" with PoA and
definitely turns quite serioius in GoF.  I imagine that ultimately all 7
will hang together well, but there is no doubt when reading them as a unit
that you are riding the coaster up the hill in the first two books.
