I think this is a better design than the old one. The old one was nice if you were traveling, but really, how many people did that? This one fits much nicer in a cupboard next to your AppleTV, and won't take up 2 or 3 sockets in an extension cord. It also makes the wiring easier, since you don't have to make sure your optical audio cable and ethernet cable can actually reach the power sockets.
