Not sure if Ichigo and Nigo would make much of a difference in New form. If anything it would make them more able to take on the Heisei Riders as the stats of their original forms make them weaker than any other Rider (save for Riderman).

Besides, that upgrade was permanent, this form is now their default form as the older suits were just too old and worn to be used.
