It's one of my recommendations for complete sets (along with Skrowaczewski on plain old CD). However, for me, even Blomstedt can't overcome the weaknesses I mentioned in Bruckner's symphonies in my post above. (BTW, I've always liked the Fifth, which remains one of my favorites, along with the Eighth and Ninth.) Actually, I can't tell you how many recordings I have of the Bruckner symphonies - it's a lot, even though I don't know the Furtwängler and Jochum (either set) recordings well at all.
