I agree with your input. There needs to be a change in philosophy at the Mint. Classic designs are always popular - no more rehashed history outside of the odd commemorative issue now and then. They've ridden that horse for too long and collectors seem to be burned out. Time for artistry and symbolism to come back for a while - I like the Liberty medal series for that reason.
