It's the only acceptable version, as it's the only one without editorial
interference (added dynamics, and such-like) in the clarinet part.

However, the 'octave higher' clarinet versions in the Barenreiter of
several passages that were originally in the basset range can arguably
be improved -- bars 145-7 for example. (We know that some passages were
originally definitely in the basset range both from the AMZ review of
the first edition and from the Winterthur fragment.)
