Personally I think the whole idea of Slayers having a dark side due to the demonic origins of their supernatural strength and not their human hearts and minds is a bunch of hog hooey

Exactly. That's a running theme throughout both series.

ANGEL: It's not the demon in me that needs killing, Buffy. It's the man.

It's about power; not where the power comes from, but how you use it. Buffy's greatest mistakes stem not from her superpowers, but from her human insecurities. Willow's problems don't start with her learning magic. This doesn't mean that the power - the temptation to use it for less than good purposes or in less than good ways - can't be a problem; but it's more complicated than Twilight (assuming Voll speaks for them) seem to believe.
