I agree with you completely about the duel being left unscored. But I can appreciate what Ady was trying to do, and I think he did what he was trying to do quite well. You really do have to see it to understand what is going on. He sped up the seen and made it a faster fight and he added some of the music from the Anakin - Obi-Wan battle at the end of ROTS. In this way it reflects back to their previous fight with each other. In its faster state being left scoreless wouldn't have the same effect the original version of the scene had. You can't really describe Ady's edit as anything but a blantant SE with some changes just for the sake of changing. What we have now is a more modern version of SW that better matches the PT. And what is wrong with that? As I said before, I was excited about the 1997 SE when it first came out. I really enjoyed them, but I saw them as alternative version and didn't realize they would be replacing the versions I had loved for so long. Ady's edit is an SE we can enjoy, a fun alternative version of the film. Ady's version is not threatening the existence of any of the other versions. We are not being told this is the only one that exists anymore.
