Staytrem Bridges have been improved!

Hi All
I spotted the other day that Staytrem now offers a 52mm Bass VI bridge - I'm not sure how long these have been available. I've had problems pushing the low E off the edge of the fingerboard on my CV VI, so I ordered one. It was listed as pre-order, but was dispatched the next day - excellent service!
Anyway, when it arrived, I noticed that there were a couple of upgrades over the original I had -
Original:
New one:
Apart from the 52mm spacing option, the intonation screws now run all the way across the bridge plate and sit in holes in the other side (and the ends of the screws are nicely polished). Also, the nylon lock washers on these screws are now replaced with metal spring clips.
Looking at the photos on the Staytrem site, it looks like the guitar bridges might have the spring clips, and the extended screws on just the E strings - has anyone got one to confirm?
I've never had particular problems with the original design, but the new one holds the saddles even more securely and it's nice to see someone continuing to develop an already excellent product.
