I'd definitely buy a deluxe edition if Intrada were to do it. I'm content with the single-disc release and am not going to hunt down the 2CD nor the download-exclusives, since the score itself didn't really grab me at all. It was an okay listen at best, but I can't imagine coming back to it anytime soon.
The exclusive tracks are 95% essential to the score. I can't believe they weren't included in the first place, but we all know how that works. I added them to the body of the album (thanks to The Mutant, I think) and every time one of those cues comes up, I look at it and go, "Wow, how did they leave this off?"
I read in an interview with TL director Joseph Kosinski that a lot of the deficiencies with the main CD were time-related. The CD had to be finalised and go into production by a certain date, and the movie wasn't actually finished yet - therefore Daft Punk were still composing. Tracks like Sunrise Prelude weren't ready when the CD needed to be, and hence they've been released after the fact.
Admittedly the after-the-fact releasing has been all over the shop, but that's a different matter.
In the UK you can get a vinyl 2-disc set that comes with download codes, and includes all the extra tracks, bar (I think) the two that were on iTunes. I've been toying with getting this, though I can't confirm what quality the download versions are.

Yeah, I think my wording was a bit off. I knew why the tracks were left off, but I'm still amazed that people could be missing out on all of these great cues because they only bought the CD version.

TRON: Legacy truly is one of the most refreshing, most energizing, and most beautiful genre scores of the 21st century. I'd had no idea what to expect from Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese at the time, but they more than proved their film scoring chops with this one.
Preaching to the choir on this board, I know, but I also want to reiterate how positively ridiculous it was that so many companies were allowed to grab and sell their own small pieces of the TRON: Legacy score pie, forcing fans to undergo perhaps the least fun treasure hunt in the history of mankind in order to obtain what should have been made available in a single package from the get-go. And from some of those sources, like Amazon with "Sea of Simulation," the cues arrived in rather poor sound quality. It's still my hope this will all be rectified in an amazing and lovingly produced C&C set one day. Here's hoping (because this is one score that really deserves it).
