What is a better game, the original Carcassonne or Carcassonne hunters and gatherers?

I've played carcassonne hunter and gatherers, but I've never played the original game with towns and roads. I know the original has a lot of expansions, too. Both games are the same idea too right? What is a better buy?|||As a sales representative for Rio Grande Games and as an instructor, I can tell you from experience that Hunters %26amp; Gatherers is the easiest version of Carcassonne to teach because it has the fewest rules and restrictions. H%26amp;G has no expansions. However, anyone who is familiar with any version of Carcassonne will be confortable with any variation. Enjoy the game!|||Seems like they are the same game, bud. Just limits your options by playing hunters and gatherers...since there are no expansions.|||its just like having star wars monopoly, and then regular monopoly, neither is better than the other.
