From my limited knowledge of UK company law, an LLC is better for small "self-employed" companies while a Ltd is better for larger entities.
As 2010 was around the time A-Eon realised that Hyperion was no longer going to help them with OS4 and they started taking on developers of their own, I'm guessing that having a few programmers on the books prompted the change for tax reasons.
Merely a guess.
