I think you can also buy a 2-cd edited-highlights version, which is more than enough for most people I imagine.
I don't think Cutting Edge has any significantly new songs or lyrics; there're no previously unreleased gems like Blind Willie McTell on it, so it doesn't appeal to me much. Unless you were actively involved in the music making process at the time, I fail to see the interest in listening to multiple versions of the same song, with only minor variations. As I understand it, that's what's on offer here - an opportunity to hear so much Dylan that the impact of the original albums gives way to a sense of surfeit instead.
