Not sure quite what I meant by lighting the litmus, more like light my fire but I think you get the picture : ), I agree with your reasoning for the favourite adaptation as long as it is an appealing Darcy when you see it, for me in the 90s it was Colin Firths Darcy if I had seen the 80s version I would possibly not have had the same love affair as I would have viewed him as too old for my age at the time, I think there are many variables that make a person love one more passionately than another despite the story being the same, I fit your theory beautifully, Laurel Ann, because this was my first adaptation and I love it.
