I should rephrase or clarify that comment of mine I think. It's not really "replacement" that concerns me, but that I can already do what I need to do with the acrylics I have. With a "wet palette" setup I can keep paints workable pretty much all day. Eventually, I'm sure I'll get around to testing out the Open product, and they are compatible with regular acrylics so phasing them in should be no problem, I'm just not in any hurry to do so. I like that they offer more versatility, but it sounds like there may be some trade offs that I may not be happy with. There's also my phobia about buying "version 1" of anything.
Usually the complaints with acrylics drying too fast have to do with blending problems, and that can be addressed by doing more mxing on the palette. It's easier to blend shades that are closer together on a value scale.
