I consider the Final Cut to be the first time Ridley Scott's Blade Runner was actually released. All other versions except the Workprint are bastardized by studio meddling. Its nice that they were released in hi-def as well but I see them only as an example of the damage talentless studio executives can do to a film. Yes, Ridley Scott did voluntarily bow to every ridiculous demand the studio made but I think he was playing the long game there knowing that somehow he'd get to finish the film the way he intended.

The final cut is the restoration of an original creative vision.

 The original creative vision includes "originally I didn't envision the film being so sloppy with atrocious ADR, slow-mo close ups of stunt people instead of actors, and numerous contiunity errors." His original vision aparently also included 21st century digital special effects. How prophetic he was.
