In theory it's different, but I'm not sure it changes army decisions that substantially. I.e. it doesn't make it any easier to know what figures to bring to keep yourself from getting screwed by a bad matchup.

That is a correct assumption. The last two years there has been an unofficial VC tourney during Open Play. @MegaSilver usually organizes it.
What the new main event does do, though, is prevent people from making Day 2 just by playing an A army, which is against the spirit of the format. It punishes the top armies more than regular reverse the whip. Gotta say, I'm a big fan of this change.
