The only difference is the display. Sim is only going to be required to train MCAS/trim runaway. You can do that in any model.

It is my understanding that the software is significantly different in the 737 MAX. Not just the displays.
Expediting the timetable for the return of the 737 MAX and relaxing sim requirements sounds a lot like the first mistakes that were made.
If there is another accident, one can imagine the backlash that would ensue.
