Variations on a theme - Pride & Prejudice

One of my all time favourite books is Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.  There are a lot of contemporary versions, sequels and books inspired by P & P around at the moment.  Some of them I’ve looked at and possibly read the samples (that is one of the good things about kindles)  Some of them I’ve not bothered to read any further.  
I’ve read three recently – a contemporary version A Little Bit Psychic by Aimée Avery; a short story sequel Mr Collin's Last Supper by Shannon Winslow and Charlotte ~ Pride and Prejudice continues by Karen Aminadra.
I’m not a big fan of short stories, so of the three that one was probably the one I liked the least.  Of the two longer books, I can’t decide whether I preferred the contemporary story or the sequel featuring Charlotte Lucas and her marriage to the awful Mr Collins.  
It was interesting to read someone else’s thought on some of the lesser characters from P & P.   The short story very quickly got rid of Mr Collins, but Karen Aminadra’s story had Mr Collin’s undergoing a gradual change and becoming, by the end of the book, a much more appealing character.  One thing that I didn’t like in the book was the way that the character of Colonel Fitzwilliam developed. 

So which would I recommend……. well both the longer stories - they are light enjoyable reading.  The differences being that one was written as a sequel with the same characters appearing as the original novel and the the other was written as a contemporary novel using ideas and names from Pride & Prejudice - not exactly a modern reworking of the original.
