Boils down to how many of the aircraft do you already own - if any - and how much are you willing to pay for the ones you don’t? That’s the fundamental difference between the versions (well, and also some enhanced airports but I don’t know if you do airliner flying or not.)
I bought the Limited Collectors Edition and I’d definitely advise against that at this point unless a) you REALLY are into the physical goodies (not the digital ones - those you can get with the Aviator edition) and b) Aerosoft has any left (probably a few.) Aerosoft has botched this delivery in every way possible and you’re in for a big delay if you go that route.
Otherwise, you’re not missing anything if you already bought the aircraft during 2020.
As a couple of other people have said, you may want to wait for another patch or two to drop - you’re correct that no program this size will be released without bugs, but 2024 needed a few more months of development before being ready for release. It’s clear the bean counters wanted this out in time for Christmas - I doubt Jorg and Seb would have minded having more time to get it ready.
That said, if you’re willing to put up with some major parts not working properly (or at all - see the Marketplace for instance) then go for it.
