At best the enhancements aren't worth more than $1 to me -- and not really even that -- as long as they are DRM laden.
If all you want is the basic text, you can download it entirely free from MR (or elsewhere). It's nice to have the choice of the two options - for me personally, the additional material is well worth paying the extra for, but if there's someone for whom it isn't, they don't have to buy it.
