Can't feel too bad about the 550s as long as the AM 9015 is still available. The loss of the 775 18v is saddening though; they were my go-to motor for shooters and powerful manipulators. Now I have to switch to the 3x as heavy minicim for my stuff, not to mention their much larger size.
I have seen videos of many old games, and I have to say that the newer styles would knock the old ones out of the park. Today's 254 or 1114 or 148 (etc) could beat entire championships alliances of back then from what I can see. It was definitely a slower game back then.
