The DVDs are fabulous for what they are... DVDs. No DVD ever looked exactly like a projected film because
it is physically impossible.
Celluloid and arc lamps create an effect that can only be impersonated by pixels and electricity. And something will always, always be lost in the translation. You'll have to live with that fact, I'm afraid, which I why I rush off to the theatre to see these films as many times as possible before they move on to video.
As for the 3-disc release... I never did pick up the 4-disc version, so I think this newer, cheaper version will make a great Christmas gift to my little brother, who doesn't watch the behind-the-scenes stuff much, anyway.
