I see that for configurations where drawing transparency is slow, it is good 
to have the old markers back. 
 
I would however vote for the transparent markers as default and the old ones 
as optional. Eye-candy is not the main point of the transparent markers. They 
have the advantage that they don't obscure information on the background map 
that may be important for digitising. I had some user reports about cases 
where this was a problem.

Regards,
Marco
