Thing is, the Scoobies were able, as a team, to take out a fair number of anonymous vampires. I think Buffy shows up one episode to save them from getting slaughtered by a more competent vamp. The Initiative captured a fair number of vamps, including even Spike by surprise. But we see Angel and Buffy each taking out a whole Initiative team.
Might still be able to take out run of the mill vamps, but there could also be a strong selection effect for vampires not as dumb as dirt, or even more training of new vamps.
They may have been inconsistent on the body heat thing; I don't remember.
