Judging from http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q65ddlz_6BE on YouTube, the rear screen does not look to take advantage of the larger body size and looks to be on a par with the older Merrills.

If putting the illuminator LED elsewhere would have saved lens diameter, I would have preferred that for the size, but I can see a better motor should help/can help a lot with the AF.No, absolutely not.
The optical formula, glass used and all are strictly the same.
The lens is bigger because Focus motor and housing are not the same. There is also wires to the AF assist beam at the front of the lens.
This is a great video, someone translated and summarized the gist of it at dpreview.
