What's the best version of Deep Purple's Made In Japan?

I think the last time I heard this on CD was in the late 80s. Since I can't find that CD now, I was just wondering if it's worth it to pay 80+ dollars for the DCC version, or just go for the latest remaster. Any opinions?

The DCC is nice. I don't know if you need to pay $80 for it. Is that the going rate now?

The DCC is the best but the price now is ridiculous!!
The Live In Japan 3 CD set is another option (it is a remix of the concerts which produced the MIJ album)

IMO, absolutely not. It's not
that good. If you're really curious to hear it, you should be able to get someone to burn you a CD-R without too much trouble.
Unless you're very fond of the tonality, track listing, and the "hit" version of Smoke on the Water found on the original CD/vinyl, I'd go for the 3 CD remix instead.

I've got a 2-CD EMI remaster from 1998 and have no complaints. Thena gain, I didn't even know there was a 3-CD remix -- what's it called?. I bought the original LP back in '74 or so.
