Scuba Steve, Looks great! If there is any room for additional suggestions a Band of Brothers scene might be worth filling up that last 2.5% of space if you've the energy.
The battle in the snow covered forrest, I can't remember the particular episode name is just amazing for both surround and LFE. If it is something you are interested in and you don't have the disks -- I'll send you the Band of Brothers Box set and some paypal money to cover returning the set when you are through. http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/247/bandofbrothers.html
a scene like this through about the 1:42 mark is what I'm referring to. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9F1szmKOa8
Also a couple of notes from my enjoyment of disk one. A couple of the scenes run a bit long. The joker scene from Dark Night 2 at the hospital is too long, as is the Pearl Harbor scene, as are a couple of the King Kong scenes, and even the Master and Commander scene. All are good inclusions, but they are longer than the disc is purposed for IMO. Quick gotcha demo's of 3 or 4 minutes length are about my max preference, longer than that and I find myself skipping back to the menu to show my guests the next clip in most every case. I most frequent the THX trailer and the Ironman Jericho missle launch scene, both clips under 1 minute. I also have not seen the value of the Star Track clips. I've listened them at several people's houses now and unlike some of the other clips I've never heard them shine on any system (A couple systems had about $20,000+ in equipment). Contrast that clip to a clip like the Book of Eli town square gunfight sequence that might sound just okay on a decent setup, but shines like the morning star on a high end setup!!! (and that's when I can really understand why it is included) I like the Star Trek movie, but just don't really think they make particularly excellent demo clips from what I've heard and seen. At any rate I'm just one man's opinion -- I LOVE the first disk and can easily skip over the couple clips that don't do anything for me. No disk would be perfect for any one person's personal top picks --- we all understand that. So I'm glad to see that the new disk looks to be better in most every way! Like many other people have said, I put that disk in my player more than any of my other DVDs or BluRays. It is better than any single movie for showing off your gear to friends! I REALLY appreciate your effort and time!!! Thanks again and I'm really looking forward to picking up this disk too!

As you can see, there is a bit of a ying-yang between those that prefer longer clips and those that prefer shorter clips. Myself, I have no particular preference and simply enjoy a clip as long as it's good.
This disc made great improvements, or at least I think so, in the LFE category. Which I believe is, or will be, your favorite category based upon your love for subsonic bliss.
I've paid for my R1800 many times over just from the ink alone.
