If it ain't broke don't fix it!!! We usually ended up playing a school 3 or 4x's larger then we were, but it was a great experience. I hope they go back to one class.
On a side bar, I do like the Illinois 2 class system. When I lived in the Chicago area it was nice to see the "Small School" and "Big School" champions, They have done a good job keeping each unique.
I will step down from my soap box.

The thing I love about the 2 Class system, is when you win a State Championship, you
really win a State Championship. Everyone gets to be in the playoffs. Everyone has a change to advance and move on. That is why it is called "America's Original March Madness."
