Default Bentley Service manual or Official Factory Repair manual

I see that Bentley has two things for the A4. I had the factory repair manual for my 100 and it was decent. But seems like the service manual might be better for DIYers. Anyone have either?

Default No no. There is a CD rom official repair manual and...

something called a "Service Manual" that is paper. I'm thinking the repair manual is more in depth, but the service manual might be better for everyday stuff. They are both about the same price. And yeah, I know the paper repair manual is better. Nearly impossible to find and expensive though :-(

I prefer paper - especially the official factory ones.
