Well, obviously it's not competition because this version isn't for sale! And a film looking 100x better on BluRay is sort of inaccurate since restoration and remastering work have been done on TMP, where no such effort was made on the Director's Edition (It's still fudge ugly). The way the film is looking on BluRay certainly surpassed even my expectations.
