None of the other options have this property.
On the down side, the "old and terrible system" does not cover providing pre-built binaries for 64 bit Windows. Doing that right is important not just for SciPy but for any other downstream package including C code compiled against the NumPy C API (and the people doing this probably will only have access to free compilers).
