I can definitely buy that for Sorcery and Cecelia, as it didn't really feel "Jane-ish" other than in outward trappings. Of the people whose early 19th c. fantasies I've been reading recently, I'd guess that Stevermer and Wrede were more influenced by Heyer, Susanna Clarke by Austen (and Dickens), and Naomi Novik by Patrick O'Brian. Though I confess I'm far more familiar with Austen (whom I've read and re-re-re-read, and taught and studied) and with O'Brian; I've only read one Heyer.
