Probably just my personal opinion but I think we should probably dive deeper here. This blog post seems similar to the release post we did

Thanks for the feedback @friedrichg and @yeya24
I’ve removed the quantitative cost-savings claim and updated the wording to focus on query performance and storage footprint without specific numbers.
Please let me know if this revision looks good or if you’d like any further adjustments.Thanks!

Again I feel this is just rewriting what we have from the changelog and it is too shallow to me.
I'd expect we dive deeper to those features and adding screenshots, etc. Instead of just calling them out.
