Also, the specs says there are both English and German subtitles; can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.

Hello Dan8700.

I only sampled the Koch disc so far but the transfer quality is exemplary. All the attributes mentioned in your post are there. I can´t comment on the TT transfer but I´d be surprised if it was in any way better since Koch are top notch when it comes to encoding their discs and I doubt that there are 2 recent scans. I can also confirm both English and German subs. The back cover only states German subs but the English ones are there.

Hope this helps.
