Review & Comparison: Hornby Re-Tooled MK3 Coaches compared to the 1999 Tooled Versions

I'm a long term fan of Hornby's Class 43 HST and Mk3 coaching stock. Hornby did a re-tooling a few years ago based on moving from slam door to sliding door based coaches for a limit set of liveries and these included some added detail and kinematic couplers. In 2022, Hornby starting rolling out retooled MK3s across all supported liveries. How do these new coaches compare to the previous generation and are they worth upgrading to if you already own the older coaches?
