How much "better" is the coaxial escapement

Is it worth waiting for a new SM Pro generation with the coaxial escapement movement (apart from questions of design)? Is the old movement “good enough”? How many years in average will e.g. the James Bond SM Pro work properly when used in normal daily life (I don’t play tennis...)? Is the coaxial really better in terms of durability and reliability? When do you expect a new SM Pro generation with coaxial escapement movement to be released? This year?
Greetings!
