Given that the 50Hz results in the pitch differential (which just happens to be one of my pet peeves) I certainly think it's quite big difference in the way the audio is presented regardless of whether both feature lossless audio or not.

Given those two points that's exactly why I'd want it to be based on the Japanese release if it were to be using either one of the two.

You're quite right regarding the audio, hence why I sold the UK release and picked up the Japanese version. Your reasons are all perfectly valid.

Forgive me, this does not apply to yourself, I've just tired of the internet parroting of the UK disc 'looking' rubbish, mostly from people that can't play region B discs anyway.
