I don't think the juvenilia can be compared to the novels, the breadth and scope and sheer mastery of the novels is so far beyond these short snippets, that I can't see putting them on an equal footing.

However, I do think that the wit and irony and the sheer quickness and cleverness of JA's mind can easily be seen throughout the juvenilia. Her brilliance is vividly displayed here and that should be taken seriously and acknowledged.
