I think you bring up valid points but ultimately many people will not have a side by side comparison nor have the skill or aptitude to notice the differences.
Like many things in life I think it comes down to trade offs. I have the Special Edition of all 3 remakes and I’m very happy with my purchases. Can the experience be slightly different in areas when matched one for one with the original build, sure, but I have a great time playing them all the same. Many of my guest gravitate towards them and love them as well. I feel the upgraded screen and sound make it hard to justify the cost delta between a brand new remake and a HUO version or restored example.
Always appreciate perspective. Nice write up.
