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?

Best of both worlds is Plex, rip your Blu-ray’s to a computer and stream them. I never have to touch a disc, but get full quality.

How easy is it to rip to plex? Do copyright protections get in the way?
