Yeah, I like how Starlight doesn't feel like a carbon copy of Sunset for Equestria, and I think it has to do with the differing treatment (at least, so far since we've only seen Starlight as a good pony for a couple episodes now): while Sunset kind of beat herself up over what she did in the first EG movie, and the student body of Canterlot High was aware of her misdeeds, I don't get that feeling from Starlight - it doesn't feel like anyone outside of the Mane Six is aware of what she did (though who knows, that perception might change as the season goes on) - so all her guilt (which there seems to be quite a bit of) is self-inflicted. There are other ways in which they feel distinct (such as how Sunset seems to have become the de facto leader of the Humane 5, while Starlight is clearly in the position of Twilight's pupil, and thus far, has really only significantly interacted with Twilight and Spike - in other words, Sunset and Twilight seem to be more or less equals, while Starlight is clearly a subordinate, though I don't feel like that's the correct word [but I didn't want to use "student" again, haha]), as well. I personally really like both characters now.

Also, this is only speaking about Starlight: I wasn't sold at all on her new manestyle before the episodes aired, but now I really like it as well. Go figure.
