Evil Dead Trilogy UK release

Does anyone have this release of the films?

I'm curious to know what transfer they used for Evil Dead 2. The original US Anchor Bay release looks awful in comparison to the US Lionsgate one:

Also curious about the Evil Dead 1 and Army of Darkness prints, but I suspect the latter is the same as the single disk UK release which is about the same as US minus the over-sharpening.

I don't have the set, but I know what's in it (and own them all separately).

Evil Dead is the UK Sony disc, which looks very nice. Unlike the US release, which offered a choice of ratios, the UK disc is widescreen only.

Evil Dead II uses the new 'Lionsgate' transfer and looks a lot better than the old Optimum/Studiocanal disc.

Army of Darkness is the same old Optimum/Studiocanal effort that's been available for years.

There are reviews for all three with HD caps at my usual haunt if you are interested in seeing the image quality.
