I know the GBA port exists and it's more accurate than yours in how actually the sprites would look in low res... But screw it! Not to underestimate the designers of that one port but yours is a version I would actually play on my own beacuse it looks amazing instead of being limited (I played the gba ver almost my whole childhood because I didn't got a more powerful pc until I was 11)
EDIT: sure it was worh it, nowadays I just play the console version but I can't forget the memories I got with the port, beating it on hard no game overs (in a sitting) was truly harder and more rewarding in the console though
