Default Which DEATH WISH II - 3 version to buy?

I intend to buy DEATH WISH II - 3 and here are my options:

1. US MGM R-rated version (Full Screen + subtitles, trailer)
2. UK Final Cut release (Widescreen but no subs, no trailer)

Both are cut and I don't mind that.

Has anyone bought the recent Final Cut UK edition? How's the picture quality of DW II and 3?

I don't intend to buy the Dutch/French version (despite uncut).

Need your suggestions please.

Yours truly has the R1 release strictly for the film's trailer although i do like the DVD cover.

Also, there's the uncut and widescreen but trailer-free Aussie R4 edition available on a double-bill DVD with the first DW. This release of the sequel was also included as part of the now deleted Death Wish 1-5:The Vigilante Collection five disc set also issued in the land down under. Personally, i own both the double-bill and complete saga packages.

I believe the Brazilian DW2 DVD is intact too and once again issued in widescreen without the trailer.
Regarding the U.S. and U.K. trimmed releases, ultimately i suppose it depends whether you want the film in it's cinema ratio or full-frame replete with the original theatrical preview.

I have a Brazilian disc. It's uncut but fullscreen.
