I need the black robed Raistlin. That's the one that will be more powerful.
A few of us had agreed that it's good that they chose the Red Robed one, since that's a Raistlin we can actually put stats to.
The Black Robed version from
Dragonlance Legends was an incredibly difficult stat block to write. I still get people telling me that it's too powerful, or not powerful enough. That it isn't optimized, it's broken, it's not reflective of the character in the novels, it's too reflective of the character in the novels and not enough of the modules, etc.
The version we ended up including in
Legends of the Twins (the sourcebook covering alternate timelines and the
Dragonlance Legends trilogy) is supposed to represent Raistlin at the Dwarfgate Wars, in
War of the Twins. It isn't the godlike Raistlin, who will never be given stats according to Margaret Weis, and it isn't Fistandantilus (who appears in the
Towers of High Sorcery sourcebook as he was in Chris Pierson's
Kingpriest Trilogy). Although, it never has been proven that it was Raistlin who won that duel...

), but it would mean that some people get access to stuff others simply can't (unless they release the second set of stats on the website and allow it to be used for the normal version, too).
