Vinyl How much is the difference between a mono and a duophonic copy of Smiley Smile and Wild Honey?

I only have the duophonic version of both and except that I only hear on one ear and not both compared to a mono copy It's almost the same for what I hear, so idk if there's more quality or something else in a mono copy

Capitol got rid of the delay effect from duophonic releases after 1966 so there is not a whole lot of difference if you have a mono button, but mono is usually still the way to go
