Ditto.
It may be that with a less lossy encode we’ll see a bit more grain, but I think you’re right, this is a better source all round. Just hope Poita can use the grindhouse as a secondary/tertiary source if he needs to. Out of the three films, I’d say Empire is the big, show-stopping spectacular, so it’s really nice to see a print that’s going to reflect that, with rich colours, sharp image and fine grain.
