Having now watched all 4 (4.5 if you include the minmaxy secret 'shepard lives' destroy ending) endings, I've got to say I'm happy with them. All of my major 'what the hell's have been clarified and those that aren't are insignificant enough to handwave.
I also noticed a lot of subtle differences in the epilogues depending on choices made throughout the game, unlike the 'original' endings. The cutscenes are largely the same, true, but the differences are distinct enough to make it feel like a unique iteration along a broad primary storyline, instead of just 'A B or C'.
Overall, my only remaining complaint is 'why didn't we get this the first time around?'

Did anyone else get shivers at Shepard's narration in the control epilogue? Potential Tyrannical Machine God? I'm surprised Bioware didn't show a pic of the Thessia temple now rebuilt with a beatified Shepard in place of the Goddess
