You're the first person I've ever heard say that, and I couldn't disagree more! The Peugeot derived 2.0, and 2.2 is a fantastic engine, and massively more reliable and less prone to problems than the Mk3 TDCi. The 1.8 on the other hand has several known issues, and feels very underpowered compared to the 2.0.
Some owners complain that the 2.2 lacks bottom end torque, but a remap will sort that.
