I thought Manic Miner had all the levels on the C16 version. I played through it and everything was there. They cut down the size of the program by removing some of the sprites and using rotating triangular shapes. The style and character of MM C16 was less, but the raw playability was there.
I don't think there would be much point in doing an expanded Manic Miner. It would basically be a copy of the Spectrum version, and nothing's gonna beat that because it's the source. I'd rather see programming in reverse - reduction rather than expansion. Trimming a game idea down to it's base elements, reducing 48/64K down to 16K is something I find really impressive when done well. That's probably not going to happen though, because most people seem to be writing for the plus4 now, not the Commodore 16, and that's fair enough.
