I prefer Amiga.
Sure, it has less colors, but the overall feel is better.
Consider the character sprites, they seem to be based on EGA, which was the original intent, and it shows. See also the scumm bar. There's some ugly shiny highlights in VGA which Amiga version doesn't have. The overall graphical language is simply better, despite less colors. Whoever made these artistic decisions knew what they were doing..
