yeah, back in the day they were definitely better ports, but since the originals have been emulated it's quite easy to see things that were cut / limitations, so I really doubt anybody is going out of their way to run those versions today unless they own the hardware.
It's actually kinda funny, you even see it with some things you might expect to be arcade perfect, eg. the NeoCD port of Art of Fighting 3 actually ditches the zooming and uses lower resolution graphics at all times.
