BFI 4K Blu-ray has excellent master and grade, no DNR and tasteful HDR
Toho Japan 4K Blu-ray's OG Perspecta & mono (filtered but still sounds better than unfiltered 2009 Toho Blu-ray).BFI 4K Blu-ray has OG Perspecta (in 5.1 container) and stereo downmix of it; no original mono.
The way Perspecta works is it just changes volume and panning of the mono across L/C/R channels depending on embedded control tones, so realistically all mixes are just the mono, but it's still a big shame that we get a stereo (presumably a downmix of Prespecta...?) rather than than proper mono.
