Original sentence: On the other hand, if the upper FET was replaced by a typical inductive/resistive load, and only the input transistor used with the output taken from the input transistor's drain, the cascode configuration offers the same input impedance, potentially greater gain and much greater bandwidth
Edited sentence: If one were to replace the upper FET with a typical inductive/resistive load, and take the output from the input transistor's drain (i.a common-emitter (CE) configuration), the CE configuration would offer the same input impedance as the cascode, but the cascode configuration would offer a potentially greater gain and much greater bandwidth
