Ok.

How hard is it going to be to move from the current object
implementation to the one we really want?

Is it simply a matter of rewriting into classes and then making a
factory to generate the objects for us?  That is, no changes in the
code that manipulates the objects themselves?

If that is the case then I'm more comfortable with the current
approach, since it will flow into the solution we want with relative
ease.
