Over the years, I've continually read comments from folks about how the best thing that could happen for some of their preferred restaurants was to be taken off of the Dining Plan, but I suspect that making a restaurant 2TS (at least for dinner) would serve as foundation for their optimism that that will improve that restaurant (at least for dinner).
I wonder if they're going to actually change the meal substantially (reflected in a more-than-inflationary increase in the regular menu prices), or just make small changes (leaving regular menu prices pretty-much reflecting only a Disney-standard inflationary increase, year-over-year, on par with the increase at other restaurants). I suspect the latter - the increase to 2TS therefore just being a means of effectively addressing what they consider excessive demand. It did work for CRT. It is now possible to get ADRs there, without a big hassle, yet the restaurant seems to be more than full-enough for the credit increase to be a net-gain for the restaurant overall.
