I think the fact that they’re going to have to release it in 4K is enough to justify an OOT release. Can’t get away with selling the SEs alone again. Plus I thought that the 2011 version doesn’t even exist at that high resolution? I thought the last scan in 2004 was just done at 1080p/2K, and then the effects done digitally from there?

That means they either have to just release the 97 SE from a new 35mm scan, do another scan and butcher everything by re-doing the effects, or just do what everyone wants and restore the OOT already. Worst thing they could possibly do is try to get away with doing a lousy upscale of the 2004 scan with the 2011 effects. The fans aren’t going to tolerate that though so I doubt they’ll do that, and given all this talk about Reliance Media it seems like 4K scans might already exist anyway so that’s probably not happening regardless of whether it’s SE or OOT.
