I like the hand-holding because it's a better test of how well models can follow more detailed instructions. I was inspired by Max Woolf's nano banana test prompts: https://minimaxir.com/2025/11/nano-banana-prompts/

That's a valid point but I'd argue the new test would be then interesting to couple with the original one, not to replace it.

Do you think it would be reasonable to include both in future reviews, at least for the sake of back-compatibility (and comparability)?
