Honestly, I like the previous version better; the ultra-high contrast made it quite special and the colors where more pleasing to the eye, I think. It's a great map, whichever version you use as the final, and you'll have a vote from me for sure! But I think the previous variant was more interesting to look at.

Anyway, a couple of suggestions, if you have time: The blue line between the old map and the remake is maybe not needed? The montage would look cleaner without it, I think. And don't forget to smooth the highlights on the deboss effect on the circles!
