I like the packaging and the book far better, but only 2 discs sounds like it could be a possible downgrade. Could FiM actually make that work?

Yeah, with seamless branching for the two cuts that are most similar to each other. And another linear disc for the one that has the most differences.

We've done quite a bit of work on advanced authoring techniques that identify repeated parts and, crucially, verify that no legitimate differences get lost in the shuffle (and that the entire recombined presentation plays correctly). After all that, repeating the entire film on a second disc, for the sake of some different scenes, becomes unnecessary.

The result - in theory, anyway - is savings on not replicating extra 100gb discs that can instead go towards more releases.
