Given that it's Michael Bay, I wouldn't want to see it. Probably a cut every 1/2 seconds,

DC's are usually interesting to see, just to see (if nothing else) what was left out. Sometimes the DC (IMHO) is better than the theatrical release, sometimes not. As you noted, it often depends on who the director was...

I couldn’t see anything different, but it’s been awhile since I watched…

Then you have a hybrid...Superman 2 The Richard Donner Cut was superior to the Richard Lester theatrical release, which did not include the Donner scenes already shot and intended for 2, before Donner and the producers had a "spat".

Good point. I've only seen a couple of hybrid cuts - they don't happen that often, but the Superman 2 Donner Cut stands out as being a good example of a hybrid.
