This is something that Zion and I have discussed previously - in the end he kept the official screenshots as unscaled, whereas I added an option to my "unofficial" comparison page to select resized or raw view. Personally I think that the scaled versions allow a more direct comparison; when you're comparing a laserdisc rip the detail is won or lost in the capture process, and any detail lost in scaling screenshots is negligible.
