Anyone have both the R3 Hoker and R1 Crash Master dvds of the 1969 Taiwanese wuxia film The Iron Mistress aka The Iron Petticoat?

They're both 2.35:1 with burnt in English subs and Mandarin audio but does one have better picture quality than the other? Crash claims their version is "digitally restored" & I'm inclined to believe that's marketing bullshit judging by their other so-called restored releases but I have no idea if it's any improvement over the Taiwanese dvd?

The Crash DVD doesn't look really restored to me, lots of scratches (which doesn't bother me personally though), also a few print damages. The Hoker is not anamorphic, but looks more clear. The subs are optional, not burnt in.

Thanks @Chen Hung Lieh, that Hoker DVD looks heaps better than the R1. The Crash is so blown out, you would think it was frost or snow in that field compared to the Hoker screencap.
