I just watched Bob's newest version of this edit (v2)
Technically it is a much more proficient edit. It looks better, the cuts are better. The Decker/Kirk relationship is explained and makes sense. The ending is slightly more ambiguous, which is more in the spirit of the original (and also better.)
On the whole, this turns a bad movie in to an enjoyable TV special (which is almost as good as good movie.)
Maybe one day we'll get treated to the same edit in HD, but for now this is as good as Star Trek: The Motion Picture can be.
