I don't envy FiM having to put together that Pitch Black disc with two versions of the movie and all those extras.

Unfortunately the UK StudioCanal is missing a ton of special features from the Arrow 4K release

I guess it comes down to whether you want more special features from the Arrow or all the nice booklets/poster/soundtrack etc from the StudioCanal.
