I thought the JSC was smere-free but had other problems (like bad color and glue marks or something?) The thread you linked to at the end they were saying the "smear free 93" LD is full of cross-talk, but besides that it had a good review by everyone, so maybe it's a good option if you can convince someone to lend you one.

I still think, and this is my own opinion, that we really only need a few select scenes from a smear-free LD... not necessarily an entire transfer. That way you could up managleable-sized pieces to sendspace or whereever, and re-integrate it into SE or HD/SE-based projects.
