Is R53 vs R56 still one-sided?

Coming from the Jeep world the animosity from older to newer is amazing.
When they changed from CJ's to Wrangler YJ everyone with a CJ complained about the YJ's square headlights. Then the change from YJ to TJ it was the coil springs in the TJ. Now with the JK it's the V6 engine and the availability of a four door Wrangler (soccer mom vehicle).
They are not the only ones either, because the air-cooled VW community is just as bad.
Whenever there is change some people will like it and some wont and I feel that the R53 vs R56 debate was never one sided.

I have a v6 Mustang with a Roots Style blower on it, and I've always gotten "Why not buy a GT". I'm used to car controversy.
I just started to consider buying a MINI and honestly when I think of a MINI i picture an R53. I didn't even notice all the new changes.
The MINI is marketed as premium and fun, and if it is to be a premium car it should grow and improve! I personally like both equally, having never owned either.
