I think it's cool that the band is trying new things and has been able to find a set-up which works best for them. Seeing as how I live in America, I don't foresee ever getting to go to a live show, so in reality I guess you could say the lineup change doesn't affect me much. However, as somebody who is very eagerly awaiting the music video, I have to say I'm a little sad we won't get to see Gordon working the SID in action (with SID being such a huge part of MaSu, it seems like something that should be a star of the video, just like a physical member in the band).
