Volume 1 is still affordable and has all the X-Men + New Mutants issues, which are what I care about.
Fall of the Mutants is a pretty loosely held together 'event', and this is during the period where Claremont tries to keep X-Factor separate from his own stories. It is also when X-Factor starts to get much better (earlier issues are tied down by the original premise, which never clicked and never really made much sense), but not to the extent that you need those issues to read the material from Vol 1. I have the OHC, and will be revisiting the storylines soon as I'm currently re-reading the X-men, but I will probably skip out the material that is in that 2nd TP- its more of a distraction and Claremont is still just doing his own thing at that point in time. Its more difficult when it gets to Inferno to keep the titles separate though.
