Matt, you keep using Blade Runner's Final Cut as an example of how you'd like to see the OOT restored.

Thing is, that's not a restoration of Blade Runner.  It's a special edition.  Things were changed - color timing was radically altered, new effects shots were created, existing effects shots were recomposited.

But the US theatrical, international theatrical, director's, and workprint cuts, included in very high quality 1080p in the same set as the Final Cut - those are restorations.  They present them with their original color timing and all original effects without any recompositing, and they look fantastic.  On top of that, they exist alongside the tweaked and polished Final Cut.  That's what I want out of an OT Blu-Ray set.
