the band of brothers tracks are all said to be 16-bit files at the beginning of eac3to command line, but then it patches the bitdepth to 24-bits and the filesize increases :S

The decoder always calculates 24bit for DTS-HD Hi-Res tracks. Sonic normally dithers down to 16bit internally. If you want to have it that way you can use the undocumented switch "-dontPatchDts". That will disable to 16bit->24bit patching. Alternatively you could also ask eac3to to dither down to 16bit. I don't know whether Sonic's or my down dithering has a better quality.
Which is your target format? FLAC? How about dithering down to 18bit then?
