I may be the only person in the world, including the band, who likes the Carnegie Hall concert better than this. The remastered Carnegie sound pretty decent to me. This is a good show, though, and if you're a Chicago fan, you're gonna want it.
I thought the 2006-or-so Rhino version of Carnegie Hall sounded fantastic, much better than the original CD set I bought in the early 90s.
I like the Japan set, too, but haven't listened to it too many times, probably not in 5 years or so. From what I remember, Lee Loughnane misses quite a few notes on the trumpet that affected my enjoyment of it somewhat.
