The two tracks differ in content, not just channels - the lossy track is the original broadcast mono, and the 7.1 lossless track is the remastered, remixed audio. When choosing between the two tracks, viewers should choose based on the content, not the channels. If your equipment is set up properly, whatever track you choose will be correctly mixed for the number of speakers you actually have and you will not miss any audio - as occurs for ALL Blu-rays. In fact, most BDs ONLY have 5.1 or 7.1 audio, so this would be a big problem if equipment was not designed to deal with this exact scenario.

i know... but if you have 2.0 u might as well just listen to the original mono mix. no point in 7.1->2.0 downmix.
