Is this a real grammar structure のほうがverb-ていい


> 同じ怒られるタイプなら、はまじやブー太郎 **のほうがスッキリしていていい** じゃない  
>  If you're the same "getting told off" type (as Nagasawa), Hamaji and Buu
> Tarou's side feels refreshing and is good, isn't it?

Is the grammar as straight forward as my translation or does のほうが link up with
いい to mean "better" in some sense? I also wasn't sure if -ていい was doing
something like -てもいい suggesting that she is **allowed** to feel refreshed.

Context: The speaker believes that there are two types of people who always
get told off. Nagasawa belongs to one type and both Hamaji and Buu Taro belong
to the other type.




This sentence can be technically parsed in more than one way. But in the last
half of this sentence, I feel there are one verbal phrase (スッキリしている) and one
adjective (いい) combined with て, _sharing the same subject_ (はまじやブー太郎のほう).

In other words, the sentence is saying "はまじやブー太郎のほうがスッキリしている" **and thus**
"はまじやブー太郎のほうがいい". And yes, the latter part means Hamaji and Buu Taro are
_better_ (than Nagasawa, who is not スッキリしている).

By the way, this スッキリしている refers to their characters (ie, スッキリした性格をしている).
スッキリした性格 is a synonym of
[さばさばした性格／さっぱりした性格](http://thesaurus.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%95%E3%81%B0%E3%81%95%E3%81%B0%E3%81%97%E3%81%9F%E6%80%A7%E6%A0%BC),
and roughly means "not to be mentally affected easily" or "to be quick to
recover from gloomy moods" in this situation. I said this because I don't know
if _refreshing_ has such a connotation.
