I've watched both the Dr Gonzo and TR47 versions on my computer and definitely prefer Dr Gonzo's, even if it is a bit soft. Right from the start of the title crawl, I noticed a bunch of artifacting in the TR47 version that is not present in Dr Gonzo's. If you look at the text, you will notice lots of dots and lines crisscrossing over the letters in the TR47. For some reason the picture quality during the movies seemed more pixelated as well. I also prefer the anamorphic transfer because it doesn't waste valuable space on the black bars...which appear pixelated in the TR47 version. That's not to say the Dr Gonzo transfer is perfect. I noticed some ghosting in certain scenes and slight blurriness that the TR47 transfer does not suffer from.

MeBeJedi, what you're doing sounds fantastic. Are you ever going to make your anamorphic version available?
