You don't need a real counterpart to see it's faults. The FS1 mainhalls had cool colored lighting, moody shadows, the supposedly metals stuff looked like it was made of metal(the FS2 ones looked all stuff has the TS phong shader applied), things in the distance were slightly blurred(especially in Bastions hangar), there was smoke, sparks and cooler animations like fighters being repaired and shifted around whereas you mostly have that guy driving the lift up and down in the Aqutaines mainhall.
And maybe it's just me, but it looked like they had a contest to find the worst color sheme imaginable for the new mainhalls(green and brown, what the hell were they thinking?). The persons visible looked also better IMO.
To me the Aquitaines mainhall looked like they run out of time during development and just randomly put some lights and shaders to be finished with it. The Vasudan one is better, though I don't like the design at all(especially the colors, they should've sticked to the brown/blue sheme like it was seen on many FS1 vasudans without throwing all that green crap in)
