So if a company released a standard bitrate DVD and then released a higher
bitrate version it would still be worth getting?

I was not naive enough to think the whole "superbit" branding was not a
marketing man's wet dream - but there had to be some actual improvement over
the previous release

I daresay there are non superbit disks that have lower bitrates than so
called normal disks
