Since this game is an add-on DLC, if you were really serious about SSF4, you had to get AE.  I mean, there's no getting around it.  $15 is a small price to pay to get a whole new set of frame data.  As for the changes on Zangief, it looks like his ex green hand does not knockdown after hit.  It does seem though that if you get a counter hit green hand, you get a knockdown.  I may be wrong about that.  Also, I do know that his light spd range is stretched out a bit further, so look out for that.  I think they made it so that Zangief should be used like everyone else now.  You have to do more links and such instead of relying on lariat and ex green hands.  It's a viable trade off, but I'm sure people are complaining that ex green hands don't knockdown.  But, it just turns into a standing 50/50 situation instead of a 50/50 on wake up.
