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

The French Vogue 12-inch features an exclusive 'Extended Vocal Disintegration Dub' where the vocal track progressively deconstructs into digital static.
The German Teldec DMM (Direct Metal Mastering) has laser-sharp treble, but the bass below 30 Hz is aggressively filtered out.

Why did different European territories receive completely different extended arrangements?

Each European pressing was assigned a specific relay node: UK was Node 07, Germany was Node 05, France was Node 06.

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

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!
