They're all first editions. We're talking first and second printing. Normally, there's no difference in content between printings of the same edition, but SAMS is a bit more flexible. I'd have to agree with the general comments that no book can serve all masters. SKS starts out with the idea that you're on a deadline trying to learn how to use the thing so that you can get work done. SIA is very much the complete technical specs to the beast. I'd compare the difference as between the K&R Unix book and the 4.3BSD design book. Both are worth having. And as Kevin mentioned, we're all in this for beer and skittles money. Our "pay" tends to be the positive feedback we receive from the readers (and the occasional piece of Real Business we might land because someone read the book and thinks of us for a job.)
