In the original, doubts about Decker, if he were a replicant, and if he could love a replicant (Rachael) and therefore love himself were in my memory one of the wonderful humanistic, mystic, physiological, philosophical aspects of the story.
The Final Cut strips this all away, leaving us nothing to ponder and wonder about.

I own all three versions on DVD. My favorite is still the original theatrical release because of the questions it leaves. I like when a movie leaves me thinking.
My favorite scene of all is when Roy is dying. Hauer said that he ad-libbed a bit with the dialogue, as the script was a bit thin there. I think he did it perfectly.
