Huh. Good thoughts, here.

Kara probably would have seen Zack as much less complicated and less demanding

I think this could be very valid. I think unconditional (or near unconditional) love/worship is damn attractive. And I think that the kind of friendship/love that pushes you to be better/different than you are is hard. So I agree that Kara might have preferred the one over the other.
