feelings of betrayal at revisions

I have felt this way, sort of, but I would have expressed it differently than betrayal. What I have felt, was that the energy and drive of the original were enervated by the revisions; it might be technically a better work, but the life was gone.

I remember coming to this conclusion about "The Light on the Sound" and the revised version. I loved that series (early Somtow Sucharitkul / SP Somtow works) but the revised version of the first two books was not nearly as vivid ad the originals, even though it was smoother and had fewer discontinuities from the later books (which were better).
