I have the US Definitive Collection lasers and the 95' faces set. The definitive edition has the better picture quality. My laserdisc player is a Pioneer HLD-X9, so top of the line with new laser, spindle motor, etc. I also have the GOUT dvd's and used a program called DVD Rebuilder to encode them as anamaphoric. I play the DVD's on a Toshiba XA2 HD-DVD player. Without doubt, the DVD's have the better picture quality, even when using a high quality player like the X9. Audio however is a different story, even though they are the same mixes, the lasers audio is far more dynamic and agressive than the DVD"s. The DVD's are weak in comparison. So overall, the DVD's have slightly better pic quality without the need for side flipping, but the lasers audio wins hands down.
