David M re-did the disc he already authored for Umbrella for us, so aside from the menus and swapping an extra or two (the "Sounds of the Outback" featurette and the US trailer instead of the SD bonus film Sunstruck), it's essentially the same disc as the Umbrella, feature encode and all. We couldn't do any better, so why not?
I don't have the exact year but I think the Umbrella restoration is fairly new and looked superb on their domestic UHD which I already imported last year in the standard edition. I don't know if the LE is still available but it came with the novel.
My apologies! I was only familiar with the master MOC used which obviously was frowned upon at time of release. Didn't realize this one had an new and good restoration.
Will there be a blu-ray only release? Or is this 4k only?
I believe that it was a typo, he likely meant to say that the Umbrella release was pitched HIGHER than the old BD. The pitch of the Umbrella release matches the US trailer so I'm more inclined to believe that it's correct on their release and the old BD is what was too low. It honestly sounds like that Umbrella's release had newly restored audio so I hope that Arrow uses that track for their release.

An Arrow spokesman has already confirmed in this thread that their disc will feature the exact same encode as the Umbrella one—by which I mean Fidelity in Motion's David Mackenzie is literally cutting and pasting the final encoded video file from the Umbrella disc build to the Arrow disc build. So the main feature will look and sound absolutely identical, right down to the individual pixel.
(The same will be true of the upcoming Indicator and Vinegar Syndrome releases of Macabre—although menus and navigation will be in the respective label's regular house style, the feature and extras will be the exact same video files, as there's absolutely no point in duplicating that effort unnecessarily.)
