43rumors webdesign change: Your opinion.

After a very long time and many issues I am now very close to change the 43rumors layout. If you want to see how the new 43rumors site will look just jump over at MirrorlessRumors.com where 80% of the changes have been made. Just in very short this is what I changed:
– Much faster website loading time
– Remove one google ad on the left and tried to make look the advertising less present
– Mobile theme optimization

43rumors will still get some minor layout and color differences compared to MirrorlessRumors.com. But I now want to ask you:

Do you like the new Mirrorlessrumors.com theme?
