Interesting, I guess I was mistaken about what resolution was needed to see it.  I think you're right that about half as much reduction would be more appropriate--the grain in the GOUT never bothered me except for a couple places where it is really excessive (the first appearance of the snowspeeders on Hoth, for example).  That and a couple others have to be video noise of some kind, but the rest of it is acceptable, and looking/thinking about it again it does seem like removing it softens the image a bit too far.  Dupe grain or not it isn't nearly as objectionable as some people seem to think.  I am strongly in favour of anti-aliasing--if the Editdroid had added that I would probably find no problems with it aside from the unavoidable DVNR smearing that all the '93 based versions have.
