Are any of the Toho Godzilla Blurays "reference quality"?

Are any of the Toho Godzilla Blurays "reference quality"? What I mean by that is "perfect" picture and sound. Something that an electronics store could use to demo their HDTVs and sound systems. Criterion Collection did as good of a job as they could with a 60-year old movie like Gojira, but let's be honest - no one would be impressed with the sound and picture quality of an HDTV home theater with that disk playing.

Compare Toho's HDTV of Godzilla 2000 with the Sony/Monsters HD master of that film, and you'll have the answer.
Every film should have at least one animal attack.

None of the Toho Blu-ray's are reference quality.

The vaseline type softness of the Toho transfers are really hated in the High def community.

None of the American Godzilla Blu-rays are, either. The Criterion remaster of Godzilla(1954) is fantastic, but it isn't "reference quality" because the film is limited by it's source material.
