Probably, an improvement of author's older work:

The problem 473 is clearly better with selfpins on the same square after both thematic black pieces play on the same square on the 1st move. Also better construction of course.

The new problem shows a reduced idea of the older one.
I don't see "simpler" as clearly better, although it's very nice.

Reciprocity of bQe7/bRf3 makes a more complex thematic mechanism.
