The only problem with going with Lauren's vision is that nobody really knows what she had planned in the long run. WE can all specualte, yes, but only Mrs. Faust knows the truth, and she has chosen to not discuss it for now. In which case, my personal feeling is that it would be foolish to blindly cling onto and support something. I need to know what I'm fighting for or against. I'm not against Mrs. Faust's vision because I do not know it, nor am I for it. Only when I know the details can I make a judgement such as that.
In the meantime, I have the show's canon to ponder over. And while Twilight becoming a Princess is a big thing, and quite a divisive topic for many, I feel the change is far better than the introduction of the useless pink furball known as Cadance (Shining Armour has earned respect from me for being a legitimately awesome character).

Well, while it's true that Lauren never explained the details of her vision, her reaction to Cadence and her lack of any further comments about the pink furball (despite being asked, mind you) speak volumes. 
But you're right. For now we only have show canon, for better or for worse. And plethora of fanfics!
Actually, there's one thing to be grateful about canon riddled with more plot holes than Chrysalis' body - it allows crafty fanfic writers to work their gypsie magic.
