Vauxhall Goodness!

Right, it's looking as though I'm all set to upgrade my lowly 1.1 fiesta first car-mobile!!
I've been to look at an N reg Cavalier 2.0i LS, 16v etc etc, and all being well will stick the deposit down after a test drive on tuesday-ish. It's an Ecotec engine, not the original XE, which (I've been reliably informed) gets me about 20 less bhp - 135 vs 155 roughly speaking.
I'm just interested as to why vauxhall 'upgraded' the old XE engine with a less powerful one - seems a little odd to me...I've done some digging around the net on the topic but have come up with next to nothing - just wondered if anyone could enlighten me with some interesting facts and figures about my prospective new motah!
Cheers!
