Not sure. I mean, it's relevant that your flight is now guaranteed to be at least 2 hours late ... and I suppose it makes it easier for you to predict a delay in advance ..... but for compensation purposes, does cause of that delay have a bearing on things?
AC will either claim safety violation or not, I'm assuming that the new plane aspect doesn't change that claim on their part.
