I think the decision to record the Off-Broadway cast was done due to the critical acclaim for the show and to preserve the work of both lead actresses. The show was a bonified hit and those left without tickets were clamoring to hear the music. It was a great decision.
Also, I am unsure if the decision was made to transfer. Even if it was, it could always fall through in the early stages and then there would be no recording. Also, who knew if all the actors would transfer? I think it was a sound decision to record when they did.
We have yet to see if they re-record. I would be happier if they did, but can live with what I have if they do not. As Norn said, the more Grey Gardens the better. Christine and Mary Louise are divine perfection.
