Are you making these releases to be enjoyed by viewers or simply as a 100% accurate reference for future generations of what the theatrical print looked like when it came out in 1977? Optimally the answer would be both but if push came to shove, I would prioritise the former rather than the later and think you should do the same.

Maybe it's selfish of me but I am making these first and foremost to be enjoyed by me and second to be enjoyed by others that enjoy the same things I do. I enjoy watching films that look and feel like they were made when they were made and like they were shot on film. An occasional spec of dirt, burn mark, matte-line or colour inconsistency add to that feeling and enhance the experience for me.

Fair enough, I can definately see where you're coming from. I disagree about purposely keeping noticable imperfections in a film that you have the ability to remove but agree 100% about ultimately having to please yourself and no one else. Probably the only way to stay sane with a project of this sort of scope. I'll stay quiet now (at least for the time being hehe ;) ).
