Hi - and welcome :-) I just posted more thoughts about the episode here (http://caz963.livejournal.com/416743.html) if you're interested.
I wrote a post way back in the spring (which I think I linked to in the above) in which I rambled on about what I think are the differences between the two writers. It all comes down to personal preference in the end of course, and I tend to respond more to Rusty's more punch-to-the-gut style because I like my drama to be character driven.
The thing is - Moffat is a very good writer and easily good enough to do both character and plots.
I've probably written more about S5 than I have about any of the previous series - but then I suppose the contrast has given me more cause for pontification than when I was able to relate more to where the stories and characters were coming from.
