Having recently spent time working in the South Hams and Dartmoor I can safely say that cornwall has a lot less (noticable) weekend farmers and ex-bankers barging through narrow country lanes in their over-sized, neatly polished, never-been-further-on-a-muddy-track-than-the-trendy-organic-farmshop chelsea tractors. Also cornwall is a bit less twee and certainly more down to earth than the obnoxiously wealthy bits of devon that are worth going to (the rest being bloody awful places like Plymouth and Torquay). Devon's only redeeming features are the bits of Dartmoor without ex-banker arseholes and Totnes/Dart Valley which have a sufficient number of genuine hippies to make them bearable despite the merchant bankers.
