The Divimax has better sharpness and has extras, but its color timing is way off. To be sure, it still all works, but there are some fairly drastic photographic changes in it. The previous release looks different and was supervised by the film's DP, and it just feels more like the film should; i don't think its a question of cameramen changing their minds or misremembering things twenty years later or whatever will be attributed to it. They really need to do a new edition that has better AV and extras but the correct color timing. If your a stickler for the original photography then go for the older one, but if you don't mind the different look--and its not like it ruins the film or anything--then the divimax has better image quality and extras.
