The mixed board doesn't look as bad as I thought it would and it does highlight the much more populated cities.
I assume that the larger farms in the countryside are intended for use in a future expansions. If so, it is a smart forward-thinking move that should have been present in the original printed game.
Maybe a more realistic scenario would be to try the New Edition with one or two major expansions? I'd be curious to see that.

I know it's been done before, but it would be good to see it in your lighting. New mixed with old (quarters):New mixed with old (stripes):I was going to do a chequered one but I ran out of time. Instead, I'll see if I can persuade my wife to play a double-base game this evening and will mix the tiles up in a bag. Will take a photo of the resulting landscape and post it here.

Personally, I am not keen on the new art, but the mixed game looks no different than a game with some of the fan expansions or indeed some of the official expansions which have poorer colour consistency.

(Which, I just noticed, do appear much larger than, say, the houses inside the city tiles..)
the biggest difference is the dark ground of the cities of the new edition, this is really bugging.
