Move to using RDP instead of Eikon API?

in Eikon Data APIs

I've been using the Eikon API, but recently discovered the RDP (Refinitiv Data Platform). The RDP looks to be where much of the future focus will be for Refinitiv. Currently, through the RDP, can I access everything that I currently can through the Eikon API? Since RDP is the future, I suspect that the RDP will (or may currently have) more features than Eikon API, so should I start to transition over to RDP now?

Thanks!

    RDP is a single data platform that when fully developed and rolled out will be providing data to both enterprise and end user applications like Eikon. RDP is currently work in progress and it does not yet provide access to all the data you can retrieve using Eikon APIs. At this point it would be premature to start planning full transition to RDP. However you may be able to start using some RDP endpoints.
