Would you buy an updated version of WWF No Mercy over the current wrestling titles?

Suppose that THQ / AKI got the okay to re-release WWF No Mercy with these minor changes.

An updated Roster (Including the old Roster and some legends)
Current Storylines for Season mode.
Updated Championships
Cage / Memory bug fixed
Updated Arenas
Slight update on the graphics.
Some basic match type additions like Hell in a Cell or TLC.

Now suppose that you had to choose to pick between the updated WWE No Mercy and the upcoming Smackdown title or TNA Impact. Which would you choose?

I'd choose the updated No Mercy for several reasons, and I suspect that hardcore wrestling gamers would do the same.

Here's why...

The most important aspect of a wrestling game is the engine, and the No Mercy engine worked really well.
While graphics are nice, toned down entrances and less character detail could mean a larger roster. I'd like to see a game with 300 wrestlers or so, past and present; catagorized by generation.
The simplicity of WWE No Mercy made it fun, and while I appreciate a ton of features I appreciate a good match even more.
