my opinion is that it would be better if the new miner gave visual data similar to the old ones ..
What data? And which old ones? The old-old ones gave less data, and the new-old ones gave the same amount.

That did not answer my question.
They changed anyway, so it doesn’t matter

In the very old iners , if you look , you could see the miners that are working and the miners that don't (the front and back movement is so easier to distinguish) and that helped me to design better mining system.
the new miners have lights and that can be seen better only in dark. so IMO, old ones visually gave better results of validating your design.

Hm I have little trouble seeing the lights in the daytime, though admittedly I have auto deconstruct and construction drones installed.
But I had them installed before the graphical update too so

Motion or no motion did not differentiate between "no minable resources" and "waiting for space at destination". I used to always find miners without resources although I previously thought they did not work because of the full belt -_-
