Already have the shout, but that cover art is a bit more Striking.

Already have the Shout and they're better than Capelight

Wow...that art looks nothing like Ally Sheedy. Looks more like a pulp paperback cover. " Nancy Drew and the Mystery of the Thermonuclear War", lol.

Correct me if I’m wrong but that compares the Capelight UHD to the Capelight BD, not the Capelight UHD to the Shout Factory UHD, right?

You’re not wrong. It’s a Capelight BD vs. Capelight 4K comparison.

I'd also be interested to know how the Capelight UHD compares to the SF UHD...

I found these comparisons: https://slow.pics/c/6ur3QjOg and https://slow.pics/c/7UcnFkxq

Looks like the german Capelight Version is a little bit better encoded.

Are those Shout caps in DV? I found DV tightened up the compression a bit vs HDR10 on the Shout disc.
