I gather that these are the same transfers of the episodes themselves
as the original boxes. But many of the original sets had a seventh disc
of bonus features, and that disc is omitted from these new sets. I've
also seen references to the possibility that on one or more of the new
sets, some of the old extra features have been moved to one of the six
discs, but I can't confirm that. You can probably find a rundown of the
exact differences somewhere.

I think the bottom line is that if all you care about is the episodes,
the new sets are fine. And for the sets that were always six discs (the
last three? not sure), the new sets are the same.
