I don't mind it in other canons either (though I've only seen the first episode of TVD), and if I hadn't been familiar with the UK version first, I wouldn't have thought anything of the vampire superpowers here and it wouldn't have bothered me, but I really like that the vampires on the UK version aren't super strong or super fast or anything. I found that to be refreshing and different, so it was disappointing to see that they went the superpowerful route with the US remake.
With the first two eps, it's pretty hard to think of them as separate shows since the plot is still so similar at that point. But because it was so similar, it made it interesting to watch and compare. I doubt I'll continue watching though.
