Hobbit Film Scores: Is there enough material for a "Complete Recordings" edition?

All standard releases of LOTR soundtrack has roughly 70-80 minutes of runtime each.Then when LOTR: Complete Recordings came along, it had 3-4 hours of music each.
When The Hobbit came out, they released a standard edition that has about 2 hours of music and a 'special edition' that is about 10 minutes longer.
These Hobbit soundtrack releases are pretty much like "complete recordings" for me. I doubt they will release a "complete" version. The alternate takes used in the movie are much better to be released as a separate edition rather than inserted into the current editions (more like those in the "Rarities Archive" CD).
I kinda wished they released a condensed version of the Hobbit soundtrack first (with 70-80 mins of runtime, perfect for my commute time) and then released a complete version just like what they did for LOTR.

Yes.
There is a bunch of unreleased music in AUJ.
Then there is all the unreleased/unused music from the DOS
Then there is the unreleased music from the DOS EE.

I really hope they do. As much as I like the AUJ cd I just cant get over how different it is from the finished film score. Plus I would love for them to continue with the packaging theme from the first trilogy!

... stated, if I remember correctly that nothing is decided, yet, but that the approach to the OST releases was different to those of LotR and that this is also the reason for many of the bigger differences between what was used for the CDs and the movies. The CDs for TH are a middle path between the complete recordings and the OST versions in the style of those of LotR. He explained it on his blog, I think.
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien
We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

There's all the alternate AUJ film versions that haven't been released. Then there'll be the new music from the DOS EE. Heck why not put some alternates in the CRs (perhaps as bonus tracks).
What would be amazing is instead of a DVD with the score in surround sound, getting a DVD/Bluray with the isolated scores (with the OST versions of the score and the film version available to switch between).

the best part about the CR's was the surround sound DVDs. The difference in quality between those and the regular audio CD's is frightening.

Anyone is DOUBTING the use of Complete Recordings?

An Unexpected Journey alone warrants a set of complete recordings. Pretty much the entire film score is one big alternate.
And god knows how many edits there are, and will be in Battle of the Five Armies.
These 6 scores are probably the biggest undertaking in cinema history, and some people are honestly wondering if CRs are necessary?
