I talked to Deangelo this morning. They said the size and number of the diffuser holes is based on the engine GPM the pump provides.Holes are about the same size. Old holes are 9/32 and new holes are 8/32. Although the holes along the perimeter may be a bit larger. Old shower has 30 holes. New shower has 20 holes. Not sure why. I'll check with them on Monday. I looked at Fernando's pictures and they put 24 holes in his. Looks like it would be very straightforward to drill holes larger or drill 10 more holes if needed. I'll see what they say.
Other than that, the size, shape and orientation of the new mixer is a perfect match for the original.
