These features were all included on the original set, btw.
So far as I can tell, the features of the new set over the old are:
-Updated Legacy electronics
-Legacy speed control
-Both units Powered
-LED passenger car lighting
-Easier to change traction tires
-Stationsounds Bistro car instead of announcement sounds coming from the powered units
-Less stuff to break?
The features of the old set over the new are:
-Power opening doors
-Power tilting
-The sprung power trucks, while not easy to change traction tires, are indeed a work of mechanical art.
Take your pick, I guess!

Dare I say. "If both new and old were offered side by side, mechanically speaking the old one would be Visionline, and the new one Legacy". That ought to stir up the pot
