I'm sure that at least to begin with that GO will be able to manage its fleet so that the trains aren't broken up internally,but its a hassle,inflexible and ends up costing more.

In other words now that I've pointed out your objection to the loss of the railfan window and the increase in crew and passenger protection is moot you're falling back on insulting the intelligence of the crews themselves. They manage to put the locomotives on the right end facing the right direction, so why do you insist on insulting their intelligence by insisting these crash energy management cabs will somehow confuse them?

It's why commuter rail operators upgraded from NPCU's to cab cars when they had the option to do so.

More than likely that was due to their weight. Who wants to shove around a 100 ton unit which is utterly nonproductive on a train with a HEP equipped locomotive, especially with the rising cost of fuel?
