I think Karyudo is just trying to be realistic. We'd all love to see a really good new anamorphic transfer. But the chances of that being acheived from a second-hand 16mm print are pretty slim, even if you had the best film scanner available. IMHO, it just isn't worth considering for an SD/DVD final product, as you would be unlikely to get better results than you would just by upscaling the new DVD.

Now if you want to make a new HD transfer, that's a different matter.
