I'll admit that I'm pretty happy just getting rid of the bars, and so I haven't paid too much attention to the picture geometry. However I will say everything looks about as it should, with no obvious (to me) distortion of the picture.
One of the things I didn't like about 16:9 was having part of the image cut off, but I considered it a fair trade for having a full screen. When I was setting up the scaler, I was careful to ensure the image filled the screen and nothing got cut off.
The screenshot I attached isn't the best but hopefully it answers some of your questions. I'll do some tests and comparisons when I get a chance and post my findings here.
