Yes, that set really holds up! Their Op. 127 slow movement is the single best-recorded and I think perhaps best-played LVB quartet movement I know of.
In a sense I think it a shame that they called it quits, but, IIRC they had been at it for 20 years and perhaps they felt that they had achieved what they set out to do--I certainly think they did.
Being before the public in a genre where the smallest fingerslip can turn into a Nine Days Wonder cannot be any fun; and having to coordinate with three other musicians is perhaps more demanding than playing Beethoven piano sonatas.
Cheers,
