Even at my most SE-loving period, I never understood why someone would want the oh-riginals to be suppressed. Apart from that, a lot of the technical info in the various threads around will pretty much spell out the technical superiority of the OUT vs. other editions.
The thing to remember is that the prequels will never match up with the original trilogy, continuity-wise. Trying to force them together is doomed to failure. So I just accept that they don't completely match up with each other and forget about it.
