Anyone seen both Lewin and Susskind[0] got any thoughts on the differences? I was thinking about starting on one of these.

Susskind is much more advanced. Realistically speaking you need to understand and internalize the content of Lewin (or comparable) before you take on Susskind.

Lewin = undergraduate-level physics Susskind = graduate-level physics, converted to minimize math and maximize accessible explanations, but still graduate-level physics.

I would agree with anatoly. Susskind is an amazing teacher, but sometimes its a bit tough for undergrads.

I would highly recommend his Quantum mechanics lectures [0] too, which are very interesting.
