Surely the whole point of changing is to get to use better methods.

I will disagree with Jon here.

The whole point of Programming is to make the code legible and easy to read - easy to follow - and easy to comprehend.
If flipping from one standard to another within a block of code is not something that your staff is comfortable with, then you should not do it.

"Choice of Style" is just another micro-decision that we make as we insert new logic into existing programs and existing blocks of code.
