Clone Wars Grievous Design Change

As some may know, I was never a fan of the 2008 Clone Wars portrayal of General Grievous. His cowardliness made me dislike him. But the other reason I disliked him was because something about his design made me so mad. He just did not feel right. I just saw some reels of the episodes that were being worked on when the 2008 show was cancelled, and I couldn't help but notice how much better grievous looks. First of all, his mask is thinner, with more gradual curving, unlike the angular shape of the original. His neck appears more mechanical, with wires and gadgets. Finally, he has his classic gutsack showing through. This always bugged me about clone wars Grievous. He didn't have this defining character trait. And the 2003 grievous didn't have a gut sack either, you may say. But remember: The 2003 grievous can out before the movie; the 2008 one came out after. It has no excuse to not have one.

So lets ask this: Do you like these changes? If disney hadn't pulled the plug, would these changes make the character better?
