I seem to remember that we did indeed use the first edition version of that line. I think I requested that we do so, but yours was the edition we had available, so the request was unneccessary.
It would be nice sometime to put together my own 'edition' of LotR, choosing the best of the various differences in the published versions and some bits that were in T's final version, which somehow missed getting into the printed edition, but which are in HoMe, such as the final version of Bilbo's Eärendil poem.
Similarly for the Silmarillion, but that is a much more complex task.
