I agree with Clinton that DTS typically yields a more detailed sound field compared to the same movie with a DD track. (An excellent example of this can be found on "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" during the song of the sirens. Listen to the ambient sounds of the river, especially in the surrounds, on both tracks.)
I have noticed small details in the Apollo 13 comparisons I have made thus far, but have not measured the claimed huge differences in LFE that I've read about. That's why I posed the question of different disc pressings. Otherwise I have to assume that many out there are being fooled by simply a recording level difference in the tracks (DTS being 4-5 dB higher). If those people adjusted their master volume control to a known DTS reference level I wonder if they would still hear a bass difference at all.
