But I hope photos of the package can help some people who are not yet sure which edition they should get, gorgeous 4-disc giftset or simpler 2-disc set.

I'm especially glad they had this CD in the set.
The soundtrack CD has been strangely OOP for a long time.
The used copy I got has been degraded so badly in the last decade
My thoughts on extras
Except for the interview with Peter O'Tool (on BD #2),
I find newly added extras (on BD#3) are generally boring.
If you are to get this edition because of BD #3, don't expect much.
The deleted "balcony" scene is the only extra I find really worth seeing in BD #3.
There's one thing I wish they included:
David Lean's brief speech at the premiere screening of the restored version,
which was included in the old LD and not in DVD, and BD.
Pity.
