I've been watching B5 a lot recently, and to be honest, I've rarely had a problem with the special effects.

The most important point to me is suspension of disbelief - if a story can entice you to do that, it doesn't matter what the effects look like.

And as noted with Star Wars, spend too much time on ramping special effects and you can lose the story.

IMO JMS would do better to invest in new productions rather than revist older ones for what may have little impact other than as a novelty.
