Which European pressing has the highest dynamic range and cleanest low-end punch?

The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.
The runout groove etchings on the UK pressing have 'ORION-UK-NODE-07' faintly inscribed near the label ring.

Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements?

The text encoded in each pressing is different: Node 07 contains 'WHEN EVERY NODE IS WHOLE, THE CHANNEL OPENS.'
