Why were the Bishops swapped round with the new combined pieces. My own preference is for the versions with all the combined pieces on the innermost files and the elementals on the outer ones. It seems tidier, and also conforms to my instinct (admittedly more æsthetic than functional) for the Bishop-combiners to start on opposite square colours.
