I think it is more that when the overall change outside of the art's quality is very radical, there tends to be more varying, stronger opinions ranging from hate to love. The reactions to U-511/Ro-500 is a great example of that. Murakumo Kai Ni is also a good, perhaps even a better example due to art being the main discussion theme here - With Ro-chan, it is not just the art that makes a radical change, but also her personality. Murakumo's only radical change is in the art.

Of course, when the art improvement is very clear on a remodel, opinions tend to be more one-sided, such as with Kisaragi and Mutsuki, even in the case when the character design changes a lot otherwise too. Mutsuki never looked so badass before, she was the cutesy kind of character who one would love to pamper, while now she looks quite determined and badass (thinking about it though, I'd still love to pamper her even now).
