Aliens: Special Edition

I watched this yesterday for the nth time and I got to thinking when was the last time I watched the original version, the version without the early LV-426 events included.

My question is, do the inclusion of the extra originally deleted scenes make the movie better or worse? I like the inclusion of the robot sentries; but I can understand why they were cut in the original theatrical release (add nothing to the plot), but I wonder if the early Newt/Derelict scenes add any value to the story, or if they simply negate some of the suspense and unknown about the Marines first entry into the colony.

Thoughts?
