Actually, we think the new Middleton shopping area looks much better than Eastport.
Apples and oranges.

Much of the Middleton Downtown (several buildings) is commercial office space (to be) occupied by Villages employees and their business partners.

Several hundred people are already working there. A few family/employee oriented restaurants and shops are planned to be mixed in with the commercial spaces.

Eastport will have the Sales Center but it appears 3-4X the consumer (restaurants, shops, etc.) space of Middleton.

And of course the massive new recreation center with all the amenities plus the lake, driving range, golf, etc.
