Yes, I believe that is somewhat true. The Criterion has a better contrast compared to the MGM Blu-ray and shares some similarities on overall look, but is still not quite the same. There is some blue in the Criterion in parts, which are not seen in the MGM blu-ray.
I think possibly the most ideal look would be a combination of the Orion and Criterion transfers.
