I wouldn't say better so much as different. I like both, and can appreciate that Ridley Scott was doing what he could with the technology of the time. Blade Runner is a lot simpler than DADOES, but again that's because the book is so dense and richly textured that it would really need a longer running time to do it justice. I do think that Ridley Scott misunderstood the book somewhat when he reached the conclusion that Deckard was a replicant, but the book is open to interpretation. If anyone wanted to remake it, I think the route the SciFi channel took with Dune would be the way to go, although a mini of DADOES would probably be only 4 hours long.
