Yes. Any film that goes out of print pretty much loses its value among collectors when it goes back in print. It wasn't the rarity of the pressing that had its value, it was the fact it was out of print.
That is unless there were extras or commentaries that aren't on the next pressing.
SALO will be pretty much worthless when the new version is released, except among Criterion completists. But they probably already have it.
