Fair enough, it's up to you how you spend your money and yes, the film is still cut by 43 seconds.
But, that's 11 minutes of cuts restored since it was submitted in 2002 - that says the BBFC has come a long way in less than a decade. The fact that they've waived some cuts in the appeal also says the BBFC is willing to re-examine films and change their minds. That also says they've come a long way.
Yes, it's not a completely uncut version of the film but it still represents a major step for both the BBFC and UK distributors.
