So far I've only heard the 'new' Please Please Me CD. The obvious
difference between it and the earlier CD is that the 'new' one is in the
same kind of 'stereo' as the original 'stereo' LP. Not done any serious
comparisons (as yet) because I'm busy with something else on that front,
but just enjoyed the music. At present I plan to get the first four in
the series as the initial CDs were mono. May then get the others if
there seems any reason to do so.

The reason they are mono is because they weren't made in stereo. Twin
track mixdowns were done for production reasons, but weren't stereo. I
have both mono and 'stereo' versions of the original LPs, and the stereo
ones are of interest only. And it wouldn't be possible to produce anything
approaching even decent pan pot stereo without re-recording the original
sessions.
