Replacing the fuse panel with the new one is a little work, and if you are picky and want to do a neat job you may end up rerouting a wire or two for a better routing and fit, but it comes with a new housing for the converter, so the swap is quite easy. Just went thru this a couple of months ago.

I did this replacement, PD4655 for a Parallax 7345, in 2011. Still well pleased with the result.
At the same time, I upgraded the 8g wires going from the converter to the battery with 4g wires. That was to reduce the voltage drop.
Note that in the quote above, the PD4355 is a typo. It is the PD4655.
