The test results I'm getting are showing that it could really give the PAL transfers a run for their money, firstly it doesn't suffer the interlace/jaggies problem of the definitive set but the main reason being they didn't use any temporal smoothing to reduce grain, no smearing during motion!
Check this short XviD clip out, first half is from my PAL LDs (I had to increase the brightness to match), the 2nd half from the Dark/Sega SC DVD, on the Dark/Sega part you can see the rockface in detail whereas on the PAL sourced version it's badly smeared (same on the Definitive & Faces discs), the blurred smearing is not a result of the cleanup filters I use - whoever authored the LDs did that.

Knowing my luck it's probably as rare as chickens teeth and costs an arm and a leg
