I'd prefer a novella to any novel upwards of 500 pages. I get as much enjoyment out of a story that understands the concept of brevity... sometimes you simply don't need to describe, in baroque detail, every rock a character encounters or every nuance of their thoughts. Incredible detail doesn't automatically equate to a great read.
The length of a novel is very subjective, anyhow. Many "novels" of 20 years ago are considered "novellas" compared to today's tomes.
