Not really. More content means a better feel for the character, but that's about it. It's all about balance. If you can get across what you're trying to say in 800 words, that's great. But if you need 2,000 words to say it, that's fine too. The only time it becomes a problem is when you say something in 2,000 words that you could have said in 800 words, or you tried to say something in 800 words and you really needed 2,000.
Just stick to whatever works best for you. I find that writing tends to suffer for people who try to write towards another person's preferences or copy somebody else's style. Let it flow organically. *Zen master*
