Good point, sometimes a surround mix, especially when done some time after the album was released, can be disapointing, for whatever reason. I have to admit I'd forgotten about DPL II, although it appears to be a dead process as it no longer appears to be included in more modern amps.
--Sometimes the opposite holds for me -- if I know and love the original stereo mix *very* well, it's rare that a surround remix is *totally* satisfying to me. Often there's a bit missing, or a bit added, or the balances, or placement on the left/right soundstage, are just too different from the original. I may actually prefer an upmix in those cases (I'm happy with lowly DPL II) because all of the original mix elements and balances I've come to know and love are preserved.

No matter how much things may have improved in recent years, if I know the original stereo mix then I would not be happy with an up-mix. Exactly the same thing goes with fake stereo from mono attempts.--
