The uniforms and equipment are still really well-drawn and pretty detailed. I think any deletions made were for the sake of making it all look fairly streamlined.
If they kept EVERY little detail, not only would the uniforms look cluttered, but the artists would be having to reproduce it all, all the time. At least this way they can keep it simple and not have to worry about omitting the yellow hose, or the ALICE frame waist strap, or not detailing the circuit board the same as in a previous panel.
After all, the important thing is that the new designs hold true to the look and spirit of the originals, not that they're carbon copies. And I for one am pretty impressed! :s
