This edit does not seem drastically different from the original film but this is mostly on account of the fact that Threepkiller has executed each change with care and precision. The cuts and modifications are seamless with very little noticeable audio or video transitions where there shouldn't be. The removal of the Burrow on fire is well done and while the scene remains anticlimactic the whole sequences now plays much better in the context of the film.
Where this edit really shines is the inclusion of several essential deleted scenes, again seamlessly integrated. Another nice touch is a complete re-grading of the films color scheme to remove green tint. In some cases the color skews too far to the red (such as in the opening action scene with the collapsing bridge) but the majority of the time it enhances the film's Oscar-nominated cinematography. This edit has now become my go-to version of the film to watch, over my DVD Copy.
