Arrow 4K Blu-ray is encoded by FiM encode is better than Criterion, see caps https://slow.pics/c/Z2RRQAAT
Criterion 4K Blu-ray vs Blu-ray: caps colors are more different and nuanced than anticipated even in the SDR-converted caps and the usual gain in highlight detail is also apparent. Encode looks excellent except for the brightest areas as usual.
Arrow/Criterion 4K Blu-ray. Only imperceptible differences in bit-depth: 20 vs 24.

Britain ICON 4K Blu-ray or Australia Imprint 4K Blu-ray?
Britain 4K Blu-ray has a slightly better encode than US Shout Factory 4K Blu-ray and Germany StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray
5.1 mix is flawed on Shout Factory/ICON, a phasey upmix instead of the proper discrete surround. 2008 Fox Blu-ray sounds great does the 2001 DVD (4.1 and matrixed 2.0). The 4K Blu-ray 2.0 tracks are downmixes. Imprint 4K has a 4.0 mix. The StudioCanal 4K Blu-ray has a different 5.1
