You can ugprade from OE to LE and back again. And yes, nightly LE builds will start soon, the priority has been on getting the Kodi 16 alphas out.

There should only be a single build, but you might be referring to the .tar/.img.gz files, the latter now being more functional than the OE equivalent.
To upgrade from OE to LE, use the LE .tar upgrade file.
Once you are on LE, you can upgrade using either the .tar or .img.gz files - they'll both result in the same update being applied, with no loss of data.
The idea is to eventually offer only .img.gz files on a less cluttered download page to avoid confusing users that in the past tried (and failed) to perform clean OE installs using the .tar file, or upgrade OE using the .img.gz. With LE, the .img.gz file can now be used to perform both types of install - clean and upgrade.
LE .tar files will continue to be available and will eventually be offered via a less prominent download link somewhere, and of course they will still be needed initially to transition any existing OE users that wish to give LE a try.
To revert back to OE use only the OE .tar file as the OE .img.gz file can't be used for upgrades/downgrades, not even when reverting from LE.
Hope it runs the remote !
