Hardy h25 old style baffle vs new

[Poston5]

My brother just bought a used h25 and it doesn't have the new style baffle in it and they want around 600 bucks to add the parts to the old model. The previous owner never had any issues with it and it has been running strong for roughly 10 years. Can someone weight in on why people are adding the new baffle to the old model. Also is it worth it? The dealer is the one that recommended it when we got some replacement parts for it.

If it has already ran for 10 years don't spend- change too much, it ain't gonna last much longer anyway!!!
