I'd go along with that. I like that Moffat seems more comfortable with acknowledging the old series and various other bits of lore than RTD did. I mean, RTD did get better about that the longer he went on, but at first it wasn't even made clear whether the old series even existed or whether New Who was a reboot - I don't think it was till Human Nature and Ten's book that we had that confirmed. So yes, I like that a lot. And I do think that the benchmark for S5 and S6 is a bit higher than the previous era - sure, it's not perfect and there's still the occasional poor story, but overall for me it has a much higher hit rate than the Ten era did. And I'm really liking Matt Smith as Eleven too. So all in all, it's entertaining me more than it was in the last couple of Ten seasons and I hope it's going to continue as it has been. Of course all of that is my personal opinion - I'm not making any objective statement as to quality or otherwise, rather what works for me personally. But yes... :)
