Its like moving to i80386 (the REAL one) from Motorola 68xxx series! Lets go older, its like Commodore 64 moves to Z80 from 65xx CPU in a new model,Quite a few Commodores have both 65xx and Z-80 processors and run CP/M handily. Inappropriate analogy.
Not only that but the C128 (which is "a new model" of C64) actually boots off the Z80 CPU before handing control to the 6502-class CPU, if I recall correctly. So they did indeed go from 65xx to Z80 in a later model :P
