Both my drivers play at 44 inches and I have no problems with them.
Your old Bertha compared to a new Mizzy is like comparing apples to oranges. Different shafts play a huge role in drivers.
Tom Wishon, one of the pioneers of club fitting recomends drivers be 43-44 inches. This guy is not stupid either!
One inch off your driver will not cause much lose in distance and this has been proved by swing machines that hit it perfect every time.
5 yards less and in the short grass beats 5 yards longer and being in the hay!
