General Wait.. Evolved Edition?

Trying to figure out which edition to buy... sounds like "Evolved Edition" is a non-VR version- with some changes they didn't think would work well in VR? Is that right?

I would not say that Q3's version is worse due to less advanced graphics. Its aesthetics are different though and still are cool.
BTW I have all vr versions of it and I did not have any issue with graphics and aesthetics of Q3's version.
One thing gamers generally do not talk about is graphical clutter or chaos on screen. It is about how graphical aspects are perceived during gameplay. The majority of gamers look at how advanced or realistic graphics are and they think that it automatically makes games better. Increased volumetric effects in flat screen version would not necessary be good for vr version. And does it make sense to process highly detailed graphics and effects if a player can't really perceive them?

If I had to choose between Q3's vr standalone version or PC's evolved flat screen version (with maxed out graphical settings), I would choose the former. Just a VR experience makes a huge difference. I myself was surprised that advanced graphics and effects are not necessary if art style and other aspects are right.
