The "regulator" I speak of is the voltage regulator module, it's separate from the smoke unit and regulates the power to the smoke resistor. On the new stuff, the new FEF-3 for instance, the smoke regulator is part of the RCMC electronics board, in the earlier FEF, it was a separate module.
In the new FEFs, would that mean replacing the smoke resistor would involve replacing the entire RCMC electronics board....as opposed to just the smoke unit in the 2008 version?

You have to replace the resistor with the same specification resistor in resistance and wattage. You can't "mix-n-match" with the AC regulator. That applies to the 2008 version as well.
