Will there be a 3rd audio CD release of Trek XI soundtrack?

In 2009 Varese Sarabande released the single CD official soundtrack for 'Star Trek'.[2009]
14 tracks total.

2010 limited edition (limited to just 5,000 copies) 2-disc version
Star Trek: The Deluxe Soundtrack
Disc 1 = 28 tracks
Disc 2 = 16 tracks

Is there unreleased music that will be on some deluxe edition of the Star Trek XI soundtrack similar to Star Wars EpITPM 2 Disc Ultimate Edition with falsely stated on the back of the set as being 'every note recorded.') being released?
With SWEpITPM 2 disc set
This set presents the score predominantly as heard in the film (with most of the edits, loops, tracked music, and post-production changes in place). Although not exactly what is heard in the film, this set was meant to be listened to as one would hear the score in the film, but is not the complete score (although it is falsely stated on the back of the set as being 'every note recorded.')
Will Trek XI fans see something similar down the road say in 5 years?
 
Looking at the history of Trek scores on CD, a third release of the same score would be unprecedented, and given how little music from the film remains unreleased, rather unnecessary. The 2-disc release wasn't a complete score, but it was pretty damned close. I certainly wouldn't be tempted by a third release. I'd rather see a 2-disc version of any of Goldsmith's TNG-era scores, or a further expanded version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, for that matter.
 
Probably because they thought the demand for the 2-Disc set was much smaller than the demand for the OST, and as a result chose to have a much smaller (and affordable) run.
 
It was released via the Varese Sarabande Soundtrack Club line and they are always limited. A 5000 copy run is actually pretty good for them. And it sold out, so it was a smart move.
