You are so right that the Toby Stephens mini-series was spectacular! It's the only adaptation of Jane Eyre that I've seen that really gets the whole Rivers thing right as far as I can remember, and the only one to even try to incorporate the gypsy scene(apart from the musical.) The only thing I didn't like about it was the making out that Jane and Rochester did. Jane would never have allowed things to go that far! lol.
I have always loved the Ciaran Hinds/Samantha Moron version. They cut out a lot, I know, but it was the first Jane Eyre movie I ever saw, actually the first exposure to Jane Eyre I'd ever had, and it has a special place in my heart. I love Ciaran Hinds as Rochester!
