Increasing your user's database table by one column/row is much less preferable to changing the thumbnail to be better for everyone. They're more likely to revert the change than increase their db size for a frivolous reason.

I dislike the new ones as much as everyone else in here, but it's a really bad business decision to keep old stuff around as config options. You're basically committing to testing every single future change with both options, and it gets worse every single time you make that compromise.
There's probably a dozen things they could have done better to update their default look, but offering both options in perpetuity is not one of them.
