I really wouldn't be terribly ruffled by audio or color timing that isn't 100% accurate to the original theatrical release, provided neither is terrible on its own without regard to the standard of the original. I think from a preservation side it's important that that version exists somewhere, but I'm not particularly offended by the idea of a home release being mastered for, well, the home. I would hope that a completely accurate version would be made available at some point, but if the choice is between an official high def version within the next year where the color's not perfect and nothing at all, I'm taking the compromise. I've never been in love with the IB colors anyway, and besides, someone here is bound to regrade it with them as soon as those discs are on the market.
