If one wants the anamorphic version, buy plays it on a 4x3 television, then even more resolution is being lost because the player is throwing away visual information to make it fit the screen. There's no point in throwing out buckets of visual information to "cover up" a few glitches (which, again, is why I am using Combustion 3, and also why I intend to master both versions.)

The player IS throwing away some resolution, that's true... but the resolution that gets lost was added by US when scaling up the image to be anamorph. It's the same as if you would be scaling the image up and down again in VirtualDub... there's no notable change in quality here.
