True... but on the other hand, Spike's thing has always been to try and reshape himself to be the sort of man the people he respects would want him to be. Buffy is the most obvious example, but he did it with Drusilla too.
So I can easily see him doing the same with Angelus, back in the 1880s. Trying to model himself on him, do the same things he did, get the same kind of thrill from psychological torture.
Ultimately, of course, he must have decided that it wasn't really what he enjoyed the most... but some of it could have stuck with him. He certainly seemed nostalgic about the old days with Angelus back in S2, before Angel started putting the moves on Dru.
