And both sets have the final battle in CAV.
Not on my SW "faces" LDs- ALL 3 sides are CLV (same for my ESB and ROTJ "faces" sets).
Now, my '97 SE LD set has a CAV/CLV mix, but my '95 "faces" LDs are definitely all CLV.

I don't think it's solely the fact that the Faces set is CLV, that is responsible for the lower image quality. Though I wouldn't know exactly what is. So you have them yourself, don't you notice any difference?

I can't say that I have seen any difference. However, I only have one LD player (a Pioneer CLD-D703), so I can't do an A/B comparision. Also, I prefer the "faces" set due to the fact that they only have 2 side breaks, and show no sign of laser-rot (which my DC set does- on ROTJ, and there are some suspicious speckles on the other 2 films as well), so I hardly watch the DC set except for the bonus features.
