I think you are wrong here, as one major difference could really be a significant counterbalance to many similarities in the process of evaluation. Just my way of seeing things.

Yup, these things I'd count into "homage and plot" aspects. They are the traits that ultimately make me classify SEED as a part of the Gundam multiiverse (and come on, we all can see the title
). But still, IMHO, its differences make it quite unique among all the shows that were produced in the franchise so far. But if those "differences" like mood and designs and drama convention are just superficial to you and not significant enough to understand my point then a'right. I'd just say then that we have totally different senses of what makes the show different and what doesn't.
I, for instance, think that it is this "uniqueness" that made some people hate SEED and the other love it. Period.
