A key point being that both versions are available with the same quality of image and are both remastered with equal care on re-releases. By contrast, something resembling the theatrical versions of Star Wars not been available since laserdisc.
I say change whatever you want about your movie; but please make available the version of the movie we fell in love with.
There was a hasty and poorly implemented transfer of the LD's included as a bonus feature on a DVD release. No up-res so LD is the latest version according to moi.
