I don't know the bitrates but the 'functional' difference is
1. On the R1 edition the movie with 5.1 DD and a 45 minutes story board is
on 1 disc (or side of the dvd18) + 3 subtitles + Peter Jackson audio
commentary
2. On the R2 edition the movie is on 1 disc with 5.1 DD and 5.1 DTS and has
more then 10 subtitles.+ Peter Jackson audio commentary
So in theory I don't think there would be much difference: The 45 minutes
storyboard or the DTS track would roughly take up the same amount of space
leaving the remainder of the disc for the movie.
btw. the storyboard on the R2 edition can be found on one of the two
bonus-discs.
Apart from this I did buy the German R2 box-set and must say : it blows away
all other editions...long version with DTS, theatrical version anamorpic
(the first R2 edition was not anamorphic), all the extra's nicely put on 2
discs in stead of cramping them on 1 disc in a nice box-set
I know this is a Dutch forum but on the bottom you can find 4 pictures of
the German box-set
