I don't think anyone is 100% sure yet what's going on with "The Boys" yet. :/
The MR.TAXI version that was just released seems more like an alternate version (Type A, Type B, etc.) than a proper repackage. Repackages generally feature a completely new song that is used to promote the album further on music shows and this new version doesn't have one, so some of us are expecting a real repackage sometime in the new year (not the US edition that was mentioned by Pow!). If you want to play it safe, I'd advise you to wait it out for a bit longer.

I don't know if I would call it "more complete" since it completely replaces two songs with remixes; remixes that sound different from the original versions and don't really fit in with the rest of the album.
The original version of their Japanese album has a better song flow, while the repackage includes two new songs but doesn't really feel coherent. In this case, I think they're different enough that it'd be okay to own both, but if you just want one, I'd go for the repackage since you're planning on getting only the repackages for their Korean albums.
Keep in mind, though, that any future Japanese repackage albums will probably follow the same set-up (a few new songs and remixes replacing original versions), so you won't really be getting a complete album experience buying just one version.
