Well.... My first readings of Liaden and Vorkosigan had Liaden heavier in romance. After a partial rereading of both series, I'd still say that the Liaden Universe is still *slightly* heavier. Both have tons of action, but Lee & Miller seem to put more emphasis on the relationships.
And Jo Walton has an interesting
series of blog posts (scroll down. First post is March 31, 2009) on her rereading of the Vorkosigan saga in publication date order. Ms. Walton has been blogging about SF/F on Tor for ages and has some interesting things to say.
