Ah, I wouldn't say that one model replaces the other. I actually think that the two models are quite different. Of course they are both somewhat ring shaped, and yes, both can be twisted.
But the models themselves actually look quite different. And, of course, there's the fact that one is modular and the other isn't.
But here's my personal opinion:
I'd say that Yami Yamauchi's Fireworks is easier to fold.
If you asked me which model I preferred, I'd go for Doc's Kaleidoscopic Twister, though. Not a surprise, given that I'm more into folding from a single sheet of paper. But I also find the result more pleasing to look at. Although I did think it was fun folding the fireworks from all sorts of colours.
Fireworks:
- when finished assembly, finished model looks like fireworks
- made of squashed waterbomb bases
- only has I think 2 uses: a small stand and a rotating ring
-modular
Kaleidoscopice Twister:
- when finished, in action looks like a kaleidoscope
- made of one 1x2 piece of paper with folded diamonds and pleats in a ring
- has 15 uses check video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7-tGudKmZo
-non modular

Which would you pick?
It seems as if it is safe to consider the fact that this is a basic replacement for the "FireWorks"
...However, I still prefer the "FireWorks", either way, thank you for posting this video! It is nice to compare between similar origami.

more into detail for differences between Twister and Fireworks
Here are some more details for both models:

- only has I think 2 uses: a small stand and a rotating ring
-modular

paper
would normal printer paper work? i mesured it its 10inX6in
Yes
Yes it would work it only matters by the ratio of 1x2
Yes, but...
Yes, printing paper will do, but do use 10in x 5in, or 12in x 6in. Just stick to the 2 by 1 ratio, and you'll be fine.
Nice model
This is what I expect from an advanced Origamist like you =)
