I would think the reason you'd get roughly equivalent picture quality on either the DC laserdisc or the GOUT is the following:
DC laserdisc
pro: It's analog, and therefore uncompressed
con: it's analog, you need a top of the line player to make sure the laser is reading the track as accurately as it can.
GOUT
pro: it's digital, so the laser either reads it or it doesn't.
con: it's digital, so it's a compressed mpeg.

I don't know, I think the mpeg2 compression is the least of the GOUT's problems. It actually has very little compression artifacts in my opinion. Even in fast moving scenes like the trench run there's hardly any mpeg2 related blockiness to be found.
