Personally, I love finding someone willing to talk about this.
I can see the age difference going either way - depending on the needs of any given story. In the books they are both older (regardless of their relative age) and have had more years of experience. There can be uses for that, just as there can be in using (or not using) the ages of the actors. I don't even need to have it the same in each story. But I do want to be clear in my mind what I'm doing, and why.
