YES, they are better. You don't have to modify anything, they come with shims if you don't want to modify. You need to either try them or try someone's truck that has them.

Anyone running the new AE big bores yet? any setups? Springs?

You don't have to modify if you don't want to. They come with shims to clear the tower. It's in the manual you link us with.
Yes, I've had them 3 weeks and they main difference is to run oil 5wt. less and you can use the Avid, Kyosho, Losi or new AE big bore springs.
