I also like the older Persuasion adaptation more, though I think both Wentworths are gorgeous. And it is pretty near impossible to do justice to that book in 90 minutes, which is the length of the newer one (not to mention the minute or so that was cut out from the American version, and in something that short every second makes a difference).
