Cropping the top and bottom of a 2.20 frame to 2.39 doesn't seem like much, but it would very likely shave a bit off the text of the opening titles of a 1960s or '70s era movie, which is probably why the studios ruled this route out. Agreed that F-220 and C-220 would boost the pixel count, but S-220 is the only "plug and play" option for a venue that cannot or will not create a bespoke macro, lens and screen files for F-220 or C-220.
The DSS100/DSP100 can't do 25fps either, which can make some European content problematic.
It really annoys me that they couldn't put the stage extra channels on 9 and 10 (I remember that they were also missing from the Hello Dolly DCP I played at the Egyptian a few times). If the theater isn't wired for the stage extras, they won't cause any trouble, as those channels won't be going anywhere. But if it is, I see no reason why such theaters shouldn't be given the ability to play the authentic audio.
I did once play a DCP of U.571 (originally made with SDDS 8-channel) that had the stage extra channels on 9 and 10, so at least one of the studios knows how to do this.
