Quoted from Rarehero:MBr is gorgeous. I almost bought one to replace my original MB, but then I played one. If you’re used to a real one - they just feel different. I opted to keep my original, it just feels right. I had an MMr for about 7 years and enjoyed it, but I never had an original. If I get MM again, I’m going original.
Hence my comment that "some people only want originals", and that's fine. But it is not a true statement that "a restored original will blow away a NIB remake".
Some will prefer the original, others will prefer an improved (big color display, changing LEDs, etc.) remake.
As to how the two "feel", I won't claim to tell you what you feel, but to me...every original MM feels different from every other original MM, and the remakes feel well within the range of differences between them all.
Besides, I haven't played a NIB original MM in a very long time, so I can't say how that might feel nowadays.
My EBD-LE feels very different from my brother's one, even though they are both original. If EBD gets remade, odds are it will feel different from both of ours.
