2009 SD DVD - Gone With the Wind?

Having recently felt a bit ripped off by the new Wizard of Oz (new transfer with some improvements, but also some let downs), I was wondering if anyone has picked up the new SD Gone With the Wind?  I assume it's a brand new transfer.  How does it compare to the 2004 edition?

I would not have purchased the S-DVD of the Wizard of Oz this time and only did so as a Blu-ray.  While I have not seen the new release of GWTW as of yet, my interest only lies with the Blu-ray version.  I am very satisfied with previous standard transfers and I would not of double dipped this time.  I can understand your disappointment.

 Here's a link to a review by HTF member Colin Jacobson:

Here's the pertinent part of the review:

So how did the picture and sound of this “70th Anniversary Edition” release compare to those of the 2004 DVD? Both versions appeared very similar. I’d be surprised to learn that any changes came from the audio, as I believe both offered identical tracks.

As for the picture, apparently the flick got a new transfer for 2009, but I’d be hard-pressed to cite any differences. The 2004 edition already looked excellent, and the 2009 one was similarly terrific. The new disc may’ve been a smidgen stronger, but I’d find it tough to indicate any distinct improvements in terms of the 2009 DVD’s presentation.
