The real question for me is this: is the likelihood of a double-dip
with a 3 or 4 DVD edition very high? I'd like to know if I should buy
the 2 DVD edition coming out in March or wait for a better edition.

Obviously it's only a guess, but I was hoping someone "in the know"
might have an idea how likely a 3 or 4 DVD edition is. If it were Fox
or Sony I would say it's a virtual certainty, but Universal is a
little harder to predict in this area.
