I was more concerned with the 3* argument and the pest that's now in the middle of the puny pest nests. The top pest is now guaranteed, but you need at least two to go through the middle and split, and only one is guaranteed with the default setup. You could try a 4-1 approach, but then the bottom-left pest is a 50-50. Eh.

Chest-wise, yeah, the new version is better.
