I think for me it's because Clannad has more of an earthy sound, which is pretty much the opposite of what I like about Enya's solo albums. I like how airy and ambient she can be and how lush the arrangements are. Clannad seem to have more of a folksy and barebones approach that just doesn't work for me as much.

Oh yeah I know they sound quite different. I just find Enya's music far too 'floaty' and similar sounding personally (even though I love Ambient music). It doesn't really go anywhere for me. As you say the more organic approach is what Clannad are about and that gets me more.

Could swear I've come across this name somewhere before. Probably on one of them MB comps or something.

Anyway, sounds like my kinda thing. I'll check an album or two out...
