Guggenheim Restructuring Since Millstein Acquisition?

Can anyone provide insight as to how Guggenheim's restructuring practice has been since they acquired Millstein & Co last year? One would expect that this acquisition would have really strengthened their restructuring practice, but a) their list of deals on their website only shows one restructuring transaction over the past year and b) recent posts on this website still describe them as a tier 2 restructuring shop at best, which only seems like a slight improvement on their pre-acquisition reputation.

How has the combined firm been in the restructuring space? Is restructuring still done out of the 'Millstein' brand name, or is it all under Guggenheim now? Does anyone expect their restructuring reputation to rise to the status of upper tier 2 or potentially lower tier 1, or is this unlikely? Have the fruits of the combination been fully realized, or are their factors preventing a successful integration?
