That is the whole point of restoration in cinema.
You know, I've recently seen some Charlie Chaplin movies and shorts which have been restored, and on a way, I find that beautiful, the image is really good, and it's maybe nearest from the original version wanted by the director (I'm not talking of Chaplin on that point).
But, in another way, when you have seen the first version, you don't want to see changins in the image you loved.

Really appreciate or hate a restoration is pretty much hard to know...
