Hate to say this but in my experience at least 90% of the time when that happens, the "better" version is actually worse. It might be more polished but it usually feels dead in comparison.

They still absolutely have a right to take it down though of course. But I'm going to hang on to my copy of the original that still sings.

No I can understand that completely - I had a fic I absolutely adored and was halfyway done, only for the author to take it down and rewrite it in a way that was just not as good as the original story.
But at the same time, I've either seen completed fics that someone had written years prior and then upload a second one that was a re-write with better grammar/less plot holes/etc (although the majority of people who did that used to leave up the old ones - the ones I've seen taking the first ones down were in my most recently active fandoms); OR fics that had been unfinished and taken down to be replaced by a finished work that had a major rework of the original start.

Yeah, I've found that the ones where they leave up the original are way more likely to be actually improved in the revision! And the total rewrites from the start of WIPs are a slightly different situation, although even then sometimes there's really good bits in that false start that don't make it over.
