Those pics were a little too crazy big, so I made them clickable thumbnails (photobucket should have a setting under your account options to give you direct links for clickable thumbs, but you may have to enable it for your page).
I agree, those arms are a bit stale in appearance. I'm also wondering why they messed with such a good thing.
Though it does show they must be doing some active R&D on these kits, which I've been wondering about for about 12 years now.
Can you get a better pic of the mounting ears at the axle? The way I see it above it looks like a notch right where it's welded to the body of the arm (bad), but maybe it's just the angle of the pic?

The radius arms are pretty damn stout, each one if I can remember accurately was about 40lbs. My guess would be that the change in radius arm design was a cost cutting measure (the tooling for the tube arms was probably more expensive as are the raw materials most likely.) But the quality of the arms appears to not have suffered in the least. There is no comparison between these arms and the stock ones!
Got to keep that center of gravity low!
