I completely agree, Vance's fantasy stuff is amazing whereas others, well they don't leave me cold but they're not as good (Demon princes, in particular, I'd heard lots about but it did not meet my expectations). . I particularly like the lighthearted Cugel stuff because of his deft touch and imagination. I presume you're aware of Michael Shae's work in the same universe which I also love (even more overblown writing though). Emphyrio is excellent, I think Night Lamp is almost to that standard but other than that it's his fantasy I turn to again and again.
Thanks for pointing me at the review (I'd always though Grey Mouser was the inspiration for the thief class).
Think that's moved onto my "definite purchase" list.
