So any update on "Smash the Mirror?"

EDIT: Given as I'm home, I decided to do a totally unscientific test and actually listen to the damn SACD. I can only listen in fold-down mode, but I didn't hear the echo on the "Smash the Mirror" vocal (although it could possibly be there regardless). Luke, can you listen to the center channel and see if a) it has the other instruments as on the DVD-A, and b) if there's the slapback echo on Roger's voice? If there isn't...well, that would imply that either the discs are totally different mixes, or that the stems were treated differently for the DVD-A.

What "other instruments"?

I don't think I'll be able to tonight.

The center channel of the DVD-A has bass and so on. Does the center channel of the SACD?
