As I recall, there was actually one scene I enjoyed from the Love Conquers All version. It's where Sam, Jack and Jack's daughter are in his office. It was a completely different take from what's found in the "good" version of the movie and I enjoyed it simply because it completey different footage. Like a deleted scene. And that version also has the "My God, it works!" line. I'm not sure if I'm happy with that line being cut out or not, but at least it's there.

As far as the bad version goes, I would never watch it again unless it was to view the scene I mentioned, but I was mesmerized by how lot's of little changes (and a few major ones) completely changed the film. And the commentary was very enlightening. It's hard to believe how easy it was to change Sam's personality by snipping a little here and a little there. They made him much more confident and assertive.
