How big is the difference between 4K disk and 4K digital? (alien.top)

For a long time I have bought the digital versions of movies off of iTunes and have more recently been expanding my physical collection. I’m curious, how big is the difference between the 4K digital version of a movie compared to the actual 4K disc? If I own the 4K digital version of a movie is there any reason to also pick up the disc version?

I agree. I mostly pirate stuff. I download mostly 1080p content. In 1080p, WEB-DL is almost always clearly inferior to bluray. Now in 4k, often enough I keep the WEB-DL no problem. h265 is a marvel.
