NG 737 LNAV vs VOR/LOC

I don't like the way vor/loc captures the localizer in new generation 737's. It seem rather abrupt and aggressive compared to the classic 737. Additionally, it sometimes flies through the localizer and on long fimals, it seems to 'hunt' the wide localizer course.

I prefer to capture using LNAV and if I'm on a long final, to leave it in LNAV until 20 miles from the runway or so. Anyone have similiar experience with this?
