I can tell you, before all this happened, I did try to replace one of my filter cannisters with one of the Big Blue ones and it wouldn't seal properly in the Nova manifold. My guess is the Nova manifold is different and will only support a specific type of cannister/housing.
Yes, the new canisters have thicker walls at the bottom where the cracks were occurring. They have also changed the manifold where the gauges connect to brass fittings rather than plastic. The new canisters also use 2 O rings rather than one.

I could have moved on to a different supplier but I trust Nova and see no reason to change.
