A big upgrade like Rathalos, Rathian and Diablos got when they moved from 2nd Gen to 3rd Gen would be nice.

In my opinion, the MH4 returning monsters are between that level of change and the 3rd Gen Tigrex/Narga (i.e zilch). The models look a bit different (Kut Ku has an extra toe, doesn't it?) but not massively so.
