I actually liked Argento's Euro cut quite a bit. Most of the music is Goblin, and you get to hear several cuts not featured in the other releases. The Goblin music, rock-oriented, seems to make a number of the scenes scarier for me personally.
You may also notice that alternate dialogue tracks are used--quite often you'll be hearing the sound recorded during production, whereas the American theatrical version and the longer "director's cut" feature a lot more dialogue that was rerecorded in the studio. I actually prefer a lot of the dialogue as it was recorded during production, and you can hear this in Argento's cut. For the most part the actors' deliveries are subtler. (Example: "Wooley's" dialogue before the SWAT team charges into the apartment building.)
I had never seen it before getting the DOTD ultimate edition, and after I watched it, I was really glad that they included it. Nice to have it.
