Pretty sure M&C is the same master as the BD.

I'd be surprised if T2 had a radically different grading on d-theatre to the myriad releases based on the same master (extreme dvd/WMV, mpeg2 blu, hd-dvd, skynet...) but I'd love to be proven wrong!
The 2008 blu ray of Fight Club by Kinowelt uses the same master as the d-theatre, with better grin retention by all accounts. Also Die Hard d-theatre might be interesting as it might be an 'untouched' transfer of the blu master.

The Day After Tomorrow has an extremely tiny different color grading from the BD; I think it's not worth the time to eventually preserve it.

T2 DTheater currently on sale: https://www.ebay.de/itm/152831194135?ul_noapp=true Really cheap too!

[X5gb]

Family Man D-Theater full cap is the one which stands out the most in my collection (one of my favourites and is prized greatly), its full hd 1080i and blows away the bluray releases which are garbage upscales.

Yesterday, the D-Theatre of the Terminator 2 movie was posted on myspleen, a very interesting transfer, but alas, the video quality is poor, a person could not get an uncompressed stream, probably many have already noticed this distribution.

I suspect there was something wrong in the picture chain on that transfer, as it's very contrasty with highlights too blown out. Colors are very much representative of what it looked like, even on plain old VHS back then. It's very odd audiowise too.
