Our take
It costs 100g less while gaining AP and max mana, which makes it easier to complete as a first item. Ability haste drops by 5, but the recipe consolidates from three components to two, so stopping partway leaves you in a much better place. For mages who want to start making plays early, there is now another option that comes online quickly.
