No, the reason for the change is that the Hirth joint is expensive to manufacture, but that's a minor issue next to carbon cranks. At a guess, the PT crank has probably knocked £20 off OTP bikes with Veloce compared with UT, which is significant at that price point but irrelevant to Record buyers.
Campag might eventually be forced to make a native BB30 crankset, in which case all bets are off, but they'd be incredibly dumb if they dropped UT for the higher end 25mm axle stuff.
