Okay, looked into it on Blu-Ray.com and the new Snow White Blu-Ray is basically the same master as the Diamond Edition. Which, given your recommendation of the Diamond Edition as an acceptable alternative DoctorM, seems like a “must-buy” for me. Been wanting Snow White back in my collection of Disney movies for awhile. Had the VHS (really it was a good restoration for its medium, dunno why they decided to continually monkey with it for future releases) and now I’ll probably have the Signature Collection Blu-Ray. Hopefully that stupid DMR-exclusive bonus feature is still there.

Snow White is a problem because there really is no know original version outside of some film prints. Disney ‘restored’ this film early.
Yeah, I am aware of that being an issue, but I am probably going to have to start putting my money where my mouth is in terms of not buying aggressively restored DVDs and Blu-Rays. And while Snow White was one of the first aggressive restorations, this looks to be the best option for now.
