In reality the new points and the original points system are exactly the same thing but instead of a range of points you get just a bare minimum each day and the FlexPoints aka WeeklyPointsAllowance are all the banked points you could bank during the week...the only real major difference is the fact they are 2 points higher for a minimum than the original ranges were.
As for know you could have this or that of something that was just W/W way of reducing the calories and eating healthy. Now the way they do that is with the points (based on a formula of: POINTS = (calories/50)+(fatgrams/12)-(fibergrams<capped at 4>/5) ) and they give you PointsPies to help you eat healthy.

They also have a plan (Core) which is a no counting thing but you eat until satisified (which doesn't mean stuffed but just enough to satisfy you) and the foods are from whole foods (not processed or junk or simple carbs) with a 35 WPA for foods not on the list such as breads and processed foods or desserts.
