Rob, I'm certain that it's better than the previous version (how could it not be?). My beef is the premium pricetag for a subpar, if not quite disastrous disc. Not even Criterion charges these prices (their three-disc sets are available for $50-60)... and at least with them, it's worth every penny.
And I've seen the "Madadayo" and "Kurosawa" DVDs in this set already (available at Netflix, and the latter at my local blockbuster... it was even on IFC last night), and while both films are recommended, neither DVD is.
But I'm glad to hear the original track is included. Wellspring's previous 5.1 remixes ("Fox and His Friends" and "The Merchant of Four Seasons") are among the very worst I've ever heard.
