Fandangonow (mgo) vs VUDU - Blu-ray Forum

I was surprised that there was not much talk of the Fandangonow vs VUDU. I see that everyone (who use digital) are very positive regarding VUDU but no one is really talking about the Fandangonow apps.
For starters, I do think that the VUDU HDX is pretty good quality, however I decided to give Fandangonow a try (on the Xbox One) as I see that it supported DTS-HD audio on the HD titles. No other UV, or streaming service is doing this for HD titles as VUDU only uses DD+. I realize UHD does have atmos in VUDU but I don't have 4k available, nor will I for some time and a everyong (who uses UV) probably has significant HD library.
I realize that the DTS-HD appears to only be on the Xbox One right now but I would assume that it will eventually make it's way to the other supported streaming boxes (like ROKU). I tried a couple movies just to see how it sounded (BVS and Jason Bourne) and I thought they sounded (and looked) really good. Now I did not do and direct comparisons or anything technical, just to my ears. I found the audit and video excellent - but I couldn't find anyone that has done any actual comparisons.
Just thought I'd reach out and see if anyone else had used, or is using the app and what their impressions were. It seems like a big (although natural) step to include HD audio (for HD streaming).

Opinions/thoughts from others? Does anyone know what Fandangonow specs are for their movies (bit rate, audio, etc)?
