I've read that it's more a matter of the hybrid cage/mask being safer than the full-on mask (absorbing the shock of impact better, or something). I like the look of the full-on mask better (gives the goalie more of an air of menace, each mask had more individuality and there's more canvas to paint on), but I can accept the safety argument.
