How does this look compared to the current tour version?

IMO, this looks much better than the current US touring production. I particularly like the descending staircase to the lair, the opera house rooftop, and what I'm assuming is the Phantom's entrance during "Masquerade". However, I don't get the design of the scene with the ballet girls and others surrounding a woman (Carlotta?) standing on a raised platform with a thin metal rail surrounding it.

It definitely has it's similarities with the current US and UK tour but the entire production does seem far superior. There are certain scenes that look completely lifted from the 2004 movie. This production should replace the tour.

In case you missed it, there's a link in the article to a separate interview with the producer, and that piece also contains a video teaser at the end that looks fantastic:
