Well, I agree - it is really a matter of good vs bad music, and more importantly, good vs bad selections within the mix.
I could see an edit working well if you use it to reference the full song - tease them out with the edit/edits and then drop the big full production on them. I've always thought the re-edits were made for that purpose. A night of all disco re-edits? Egad! Does that really happen?
