It's a tradeoff. Every detail in the Saga is worthwhile. You get to see more details horizontally in widescreen, but more at the top and bottom the other way. Case in point: I love catching anomalies. One of my faves is that when Michael, at the beginning of the Havana scene, is driven to his meeting with Batista, you see his bodyguard roll up the rear window of his '57 Mercury to keep out the kids who are selling newspapers. In a later scene, when the car stops because the military are making an arrest, the camera zeroes in on the driver, and you can see power window controls on his door panel. Those got cut off in the widescreen version. Peccato!
