If I understand correctly, the bigstatus node replaces msg.payload with msg.text if msg.text is defined. I don't understand the logic of this, and it makes the node much less useful to me in situations where I would like to have both msg.payload and msg.text passed through unchanged. I think that only a small change in the code would achieve this, although it could conceivably break flows that depend on the current behavior.
