I already own the Redux version and an old Laserdisc rip... Metropolis Redux is an awsome project and i really love it, but the idea of owning a version that is closer to the original is very tempting.

Thanks again! I will definitely buy it...

Just a warning, the Blu-Ray by Kino may not meet all your expectations. It's culled from an original 1980s 35mm print with little to no clean-up. The elements Moroder was working from were far inferior to those used in the modern day restorations. 

Because Redux uses the 21st century restored video, it actually looks much higher quality than the Blu-Ray. I'd only get the Blu-Ray if I was interested in how people saw the Moroder cut in the 1980s, warts and all.
