Moline steam. Update to 2-pipe?

Between my friend and I we have seen about four Moline systems now.
Unless some knucklehead has removed the condensing loop or changed the return piping, is there any reason to update this to modern 2-pipe with a trap on each rad?
One of us says update. One of us says leave that thing alone.
Reasons?

Just a guy running some pipes.

Leave it alone. With a Vaporstat on the job this system will run nicely without the traps.All Steamed Up, Inc.
