You're using the same reasons the original effects aren't 2001 quality and must be replaced--time and money--to rationalize why the new stuff sometimes falls short.
Oh, the irony...
Well, I don't see CBS/Paramount doing any more effects upgrades in the forseeable future. This seems to be it...the move to bring TOS visually in line with most of the rest of the franchise and once TOS Remastered is complete early next year that's probably going to be it in terms of tweaking TOS for as long as I can tell.
