Why? They are inferior.
If given the choice between the two, I'd always take the one that looks better. I would never deliberately choose the one that looks worse. There is no logical reason to do so. The gameplay is the same, so there's no reason to willingly choose the graphically inferior version. It's not like the gameplay is automatically better because the graphics are worse, though there are many people who believe that, for some reason.
I mean, hell, would you pick a VHS version of a movie over a DVD version? Would you ever pick a cassette tape album over the CD version?
I know I sure as hell wouldn't. They're the same movie, same album, but one version looks/sounds markedly superior. There's no reason why you shouldn't get that version, unless you're cheap and the three dollars difference is a big thing to you.
Here's a visual example:

These two pictures are the same picture. But one of them is one I would give to family, or my girlfriend. One of them I would never give to anyone, even though they are the same photograph. Even though they are, one of them definitely looks better. One of them is a superior photograph. The one on the left is a better photo than the one on the right.
Why? Because the left photo is a higher-res photo with more colors than the one on the right.
Same photo, yet one is better. Ingrain that concept in your mind while you stare gawkingly at my devilishly sexy physique, and learn the lessons I teach you, grasshopper.
Okay, I REALLY can't get any simpler than THAT. But I have this sinking feeling I'm going to have to try...
