Yeah. To be honest, the "it's not worth it if they don't cry" line always sounded more like Angelus than Spike. Spike, after all, is the one who "liked the rush. I liked the crunch. Never did look back at the victims."

But that's a difference in style more than anything else. If Spike didn't torture his victim, it was because he didn't have the patience, not because he wasn't ~evil enough.

(And let's be real here - "not as evil as a sadistic psychopath" is A REALLY, REALLY LOW BAR. Spike's still pretty damn evil, even if Angelus is qualitatively "worse.")
