So, I watched all three UHD BDs this past week...finished with The Good The Bad and The Ugly last night. I immensely enjoyed the experience. It had been years since I saw them. I do have the 2014 MGM BD of 'The Good' with the terrible yellow and the Kino UHD BD was such a delight.
I seem to recall hearing 10 bit can help protect against certain issues like banding and yet still provide a bit more color fidelity. I'm admittingly no expert in this area, however. Some wished standard BD was 10 bit.
It's probably easy to think of SDR and 8 bit given how it was for so many years. I agree, 10 bit probably doesn't make a big difference but probably helps in certain situations. My JVC NP5/RS1100 front projector is actually 12 bit, end to end.
No, it's 10 bit. All UHD BDs are 10 bit.
There will never be an SDR 2020 disc because it's not part of the spec. The spec calls for SDR to be at 709, 2020 only for HDR.

PLAYLIST REPORT...
The Kino UHD BDs look far more filmlike than those BD versions. The BDs have some color issues, clipped whites, and edge enhancement; not to mention 8 bit and less superior compression. The film grain looks a lot more natural on the Kinos. The UHD BD will still show more detail in motion.
I watched both films on my new pro-cal'd JVC 4K projector (on a 9 foot wide ST100 scope screen). They looked gorgeous and very film-like. Love them. I still have not watched The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly yet...but will soon.
