I actually find the new star system a lot more useful for sorting out all my insanes. When I first started playing the insane difficulty, I noticed how wide the range "insane" actually was. There were some that were far too easy being labelled as 5-star and "insane" while others were on a whole other level - yet still grouped under "insane" with 5 stars. The new system helps sort out the real difficulty behind each map where I would have to guess it's difficulty from the number of objects in the past.
Also if you're finding it hard to read the smaller stars, you can find the exact number of stars in the top left of the beatmap selection screen, on the last row with CS, HP, AR, OD. Stars should be next to OD, ex. Stars: 3.45
