I think the enhancement does magic for both the text and the face, but the shadowy area in the middle since although the nasty blocking is less prominent, the grain plate is too heavy for my taste.

Nice improvment...but maybe too much noise reduction / wax skin?
Anyway, it's very sad to have no way to watch this great show in good condtions...
We've got crappy but accurate dvd's on one side, and horrible remasters on the others.
I've been wanting to watch this show again for years, but i just can't go with any of those choices..
I don't know if we have anyhope they will do a new remaster...(don't think so..)
but at least, like i read someone suggesting it, they could do new dvd's from a new master, so we could have it in the best quality SD can be, with originals effects,colors,brightness,framing....

At this point I'm fine if they just upscaled the DVDs, but even that won't happen.

More Image != Better.
Framing is important. There are a lot of instances in the UK DVD where you see crew members and equipment and then there are some instances where there's no more image to the sides (6x15 is a good example). There's also the explanation of how framing is important to convey the feelings of a character (like how the framing in The Body is supposed to convey the feeling that Buffy is trapped).
Not liking Whedon is fine, I don't care about they guy myself, but that doesn't automatically mean that Buffy is suitable for 1.78 and I don't understand why it's used as an excuse (?). That's nonsense.

It's also worth noting that the HD versions of "Once More With Feeling" and "Bargaining, Parts 1&2" used the syndicated broadcast versions and not the versions on dvd. There is a good 5 minutes cut from "Once More..." and a couple of scenes from "Bargaining".
