According to Raphael Nathan Nata Rabinowitz “this edition, with its many additions and careful editing was the finest and most valuable Talmud edition since the original publication of the Talmud. It serves as the prototype for all future editions to this very day.” (Maamar al Hadfasath HaTalmud, pp. 109-11). See also, Selig Schachnowitz, Fire in the Sky (1984).
