It's highly advisable to remain on the newer code - the olde code will
eventually be deprecated, eventually unsupported, and then completely
turned off (we haven't decided on timelines for this but Q4 seems
reasonable, it'll have been a year since we initially released the newer
version).
XML is a little more expensive than straight calls, we're also attempting
to improve performance on our end as well.
