I haven't gotten the 4-disc set of Two Towers yet, but the 4 disc set
of Fellowship Of The Ring deleted some lines from the 2 disc set's
version. So while the 4-disc version gives you the added scenes and
therefore a longer movie, you don't have all of the the original
theatrical release. I'm wondering if Two Towers had the same thing
done to it...
