So basically a set refresh on a par with when they changed the screens in 2018.
Frankly, for a set that's already more than 11-years-old, this is a missed opportunity and tempting fate a little. There will be core parts of that set that don't have long left in their working life and will be functionally irreplaceable. I know that the partial refresh will be argued for on cost grounds, but this is exactly the kind of half-job that ends up costing more in the long-run. If, or more likely when, parts break down, repairs will be costly, disruptive, difficult and potentially even impossible due to products being discontinued.
