To me, the Despecialized editions have always been more about removing the offensive and fake/out of place changes that were made in the special editions (Jabba, CG Cloud City entrance, Sarlaac beak, etc.) while preserving the technical improvements of the effects (ie. matte lines, see through spaceships, color suppression, etc.). 

That's not really the point of the despecialized versions to me. If I had a high quality enough source or the ability to make one, I would prefer to replace every single change down to the last matte line, but because I don't, in some shots, where the changes aren't so noticeable, I simply prefer to settle for the SE rather than substantially lower picture quality. And then in some scenes, where the changes are really bad, I'll prefer to go with lower picture quality over the SE.
