I do find L4D2 characters more full of life compared to the L4D cast. It seemed like they took similar characteristics from L4D and exaggerated them further in L4D2. Here's a few case points.

-There has been mention of Francis eating a lot. Coach would probably win him in an eating contest though.
-Louis is overly positive. Coach can get so optimistic he can become annoying and actually ordering people to be happy.
-Nick is way way more negative and whiny than Francis
-Nick is more of an asshole than Francis as Francis does hide a big softie in him
-Rochelle is more girly than Zoey except it seems Zoey cares more about saving other survivors than Rochelle who just doesn't seem to give a damn
-Ellis is more of a stooge and village idiot than Francis among the group
-Ellis finds zombie apocalypse a playground, Francis loves the apocalypse too but by being competitive about it. I'd say Ellis is a bit more on the extreme there.
-Coach is more demanding than Bill as the old dude

You are so dead on with that thought!

Nick is more of a downer than Francis, I think. Nick doesn't really seem to care much about the other survivors, but Francis shows that he cares, every now and then. (Youtube videos. Again, I've only REALLY played and own L4D2)

Taken from the L4D wiki:

Nick (also known as Nicolas) is one of the four playable Survivors in Left 4 Dead 2. He is a gambler and a con-man with a shady (even violent) past. He seems reluctant to be a part of the group at all and takes the role of "the complainer," finding fault in other people's plans, the increasingly sorry state of his once-fine suit and his teammate's character flaws, as he judges them. This makes him difficult for the others to like at first, but that changes as time goes by, as he learns to trust them and proves himself a valuable part of the team.

I never really warmed up to Nick, he's just too f-ing negative.

Prefer Zoey or Rochelle. Play Nick sometimes when I want to play someone like Ash, I think they are similar in looks and personality. Give him a chainsaw and a shotgun to get the feel.

I'll just post my 'prefered' list, i.e. Survivors at the top i prefer to play as more than survivors at the bottom.

L4D1
Zoey
Louis
Bill
Francis

L4D2
Nick
Ellis
Coach
Rochelle

L4D: Bill, L4D2: Ellis.

I posted this to the wrong forum, derp. But thanks, Valve, for having the wonderful American South be the L4D2 backdrop. Met a lot of guys like Ellis.
