UNSC Forward Unto Dawn design renovation?

So as many of you know, the Dawn has gone through a new "design" phase, taking on an entirely new look from the previous Halo games. My question, how do you all feel about it? The Charon-Class Frigates have appeared in every Halo game since Halo 2 (Maybe not Halo Wars? and not Anniversary) and through each game has held the same design. For those of you who may not know, this, is a Charon-Class Frigate:

The Forward Unto Dawn is one such frigate. Now, as I said, the Charon-Class has appeared from Halo 2 through Reach, and has held the same design in every game. Yes, we know Halo 4 stated that they would revisit the design of things, but so has every other Halo game. Every Halo game sports new designs to previous weapons or vehicles or places. A prime example is the ODSTs in Halo 2 compared to those in 3, ODST, and Reach. Yet although the the design was changed, the Halo 2 ODSTs are canonically correct to the others.

 

My major problem, is why change something that hasn't been changed in all the other games? The Charon-Class has stood the test of time in the other games and is extremely noticeable to fans.

 

The new design of the Forward Unto Dawn, changed from above, will look as such:

So, major design change, yet still a Charon-Class? Honestly, it looks cool, but I think they tried to hard to make it look more like an Infinity style ship. The Infinity is brand new, so it's okay for it to look newer and cooler. The Charons have been used since before Reach, why change them?

 

Another issue is this picture:

What's that escorting the Infinity? Unmodified Charon-Class Frigates. Why put the original model in when they changed the real thing??

 

Just want your guy's opinions.

Wow...

I honestly cannot believe they'd do such a thing, like I mean, that design is iconic and now it's gone, so it kinda loses its...

Specialness...

 

See that's exactly what I said! And is it just me or does it look too similar to the Infinity? I mean, don't get me wrong, the design is cool, but they should have fielded it as a new class of ship altogether, instead of trying to change the Dawn.
