Zane was really happy with the final four mixes and he gave some great feedback on them in the following interview:

He had a hard time selecting between two of the final mixes so we thought it would be a fun idea to create a final round for the following mixes.

It will also allow them to use the corrected audio files for the vocals and guitar solo. There was a slight mixup on Telefunken's end in the original multi-tracks so the final comped guitar solo and vocals were actually not included.
