Yeah, the new scenes definitely make Light look way more evil. And like I said, they make L look way more sympathetic.

Spoiler:

In the manga I was cheering at this point (hey, I'm a Light fan...of course I'd be happy for his big win). But when watching this episode I actually felt bad for L. It was more sad the way it was portrayed in the anime. In the manga everything was very sudden. L didn't have a clue as to what was about to happen, while in the anime they had him sense his imminent demise. The gentle and friendly interaction between the two makes Light look like even more like a bastard for betraying and killing his "friend." But in the manga, L is never friends with Light. The whole friend thing was a lie on his part to throw Light off. Neither of them ever thought of the other as a friend.

Of course none of this changes my mind about Light. Still feel the same way.
