Well, the "noice" you're speaking about is only not visible in the X0 transfer because there is detail loss.
I'm not technically savvy when it comes to preservations, but MeBeJedi's recent comment would seem to indicate that, despite appearances, there is still more to milk out of the X0 LD rip than the GOUT. If such is the case, I'm curious to know what this capture can allow one to do that the GOUT can't.
That. I also don't know much about the technical side of these things and would like to know what could be done with the LD transfers that couldn't be done with GOUT converted to lossless avi? I hope I don't come across sarcastic or anything, I'm seriously interested :-)
