Just to add a bit more in terms of emphasis. The critical mass here is that ACEeng and CEng will be recognised as 'fully qualified Chartered engineers'; in the same way that junior doctors and Hospital consultants (and GPs) are fully qualified doctors. The only difference is down to some additional years experience and competences. That's what the ACEng will explain to an employer or someone questioning their standards; something IEngs have struggled to deal with, and why this debate has not seen the light of day in over 10 years.
