To me, the quality of a restoration is always measured as the delta between a source and its presentation.  "It looks good," is an arbitrary statement.  The question is, "Does it look like it did?"  Surely the Blade Runner restoration is very nice, minus the usual, unavoidable compression artifacts inherent in the medium.  I mean, you can't get around that, anymore than an audio CD is simply no match for the studio masters. So from a "just watching it" standpoint, I love it.  From a restoration standpoint?  I have no idea - let's see the negative :)
