I had a look at the screenshots on dvdbeaver that were linked to earlier, and it seems to me that there isn't really that much difference, at least not how I'd imagined from reading this thread.

Thank you. Everyone's comparing this to the Blade Runner Final Cut, but that clearly had drastic changes for stylistic purposes throughout. It looks nothing like the theatrical or director's cuts at all. The Alien and Aliens releases look pretty much the same to me.

Yes, I'm comparing the pre-Quad DVDs (with only one version of each film on the discs) to the Anthology BR set. The color timing is pretty much the same.
