Both Sound and picture quality are spectacular, and the added scenes haelp the character developement in a movie that felt to short to begin with. I usually Buy Suberbits...But Underworld I will be skipping.

www.dvdmg.com and HTF have reviews of Bad Boys II. I thought I remember reading one for Cliffhanger somewhere, but I can't find where.

Also, how much time does the DC add over the original?

I think I am going to go with the DC instead of the Superbit since the SB is the theatrical version. I can't imagine the DTS track being much better than the DD. Picture quality is important but it seems to be another case where the original & revsied release is top-notch.

We have a great review of last month's Cliffhanger Superbit DVD here.
Snippet:
To sum it all up, Cliffhanger offers tremendous entertainment - stereotypical baddies getting their evil plans cocked up by stalwart muscle-bound heroes. Boys’ Own stuff that you simply can’t beat. It does exactly what it sets out to do – lots of cliffs and lots of people hanging off them.
Janine Turner does unfortunately lapse into pure damsel in distress mode and John Lithgow is about as threatening as a tin of tuna, but Stallone does deliver the goods in his own inimitable style. There are times when it feels like a nod back to First Blood, and that can’t be a bad thing.
Columbia Tristar’s Superbit Edition is very welcome indeed. The AV quality is pixel-perfect and a joy for the ears, too. Obviously you are getting nothing in the extras department but, to be fair, if you love the film enough, it’s probably worth getting anyway to have sitting on the shelf next to its feature-packed region 1 standard edition.

I say it's better than the 2 Disc version. I actually own both. Why both? One for the Special features and one for the sound and picture quality.
