Between all the 2-disc SEs, for the anamorphic OAR transfer, commentary, and other additional extras. But note that the R1 has 5 more bonus trailers.
The Alternate Widescreen Version
"Back in 1953 when Seven Brides commenced production, Cinemascope was still a novelty, and just a fraction of theaters were equipped to show movies shot with the super-wide lens. Worried MGM executives thus demanded director Stanley Donen film an alternate version of Seven Brides to ensure the musical could play in any theater and reach the largest possible audience. Such an edict, however, put enormous pressure on Donen, who needed to compose two different shots for every camera setup to accommodate the vastly different aspect ratios (2.55:1 and 1.77:1). Ironically, by the time Seven Brides premiered in 1954, almost every theater in America could project Cinemascope films, and the alternate version was never commercially shown." (Thanks to David Krauss of digitallyobsessed.com for this info.)
