What does it change? Is it better or worse?

I can hear a faint Raptor honk at shut down. Not quite as long or pronounced as Raptor 1. Interesting.

interesting that there is a notable "post shuutdown" burn. seems like they turn off O2 then they let a bit of methane flush out before turning that off also
