Yeah, Puggo, you're misreading what the "purist edition" is. It's "Revisited" - still a fan edit - but with some of the less really radical changes.
I would, however, say that the "ideal centerpiece for such a discussion" would be to discuss the relative merits of Adywan's Empire Strikes Back: Revisited, and his Empire Strikes Back theatrical restoration. The problem there is, ESB:R isn't out yet.
