Both 88 Films and Germany Capelight are superior to the Shout! Factory in HDR10 but their FEL layer may even things out. Objectively, the Capelight looks best as they avoided the chroma blocking that’s visible in 88’s disc but they in turn include an Atmos mix. I have the Shout! Factory, love how it looks and the 4K transfer is spectacular. https://slow.pics/c/vPmFQSAH

Not sure about US Film Movement Blu-ray The Germany Capelight and UK Third Window releases both use the same transfer. The Japan Bandai Visual release appears to be the same transfer but has more information on the sides. https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=16038&d2=7573&s1=170548&s2=71994&i=0&l=0

Since posting this, I watched the Capelight in full and the anomalies the caps reveal didn’t bother me in motion. I did look out for issues and can’t really complain. The trickiest scenes are those set in daylight, particularly in the third act, and the Criterion looks terrible here. Unfortunately the caps are just from the first hour but in doing comparisons with the discs, I noticed that Capelight managed to resolve detail more evenly and makes for a more satisfying experience in my mind.
Australia Madman is very similar to Criterion, see caps provided by Joel https://slow.pics/c/9MDRLoOl and https://slow.pics/c/1EVsFQCZ
