Joseph Fielding Smith (Oct 1966 Conference)
The Lord has taught that there is a stronger witness than seeing a personage, even of seeing the Son of God in a vision. Impressions on the soul that come from the Holy Ghost are far more significant than a vision. When spirit speaks to spirit, the imprint upon the soul is far more difficult to erase. Every member of the church should have impressions that Jesus is the Son of God indelibly pictured on his soul through the witness of the Holy Ghost.

I found this in my Teachings of the Living Prophets manual. I think that it goes along with the idea in 2Ne 32:3 that says that "Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost." Basically, seeing an angel is probably not all that different than feeling the Holy Ghost. Kind of goes along with the idea that visions/miracles don't bring lasting change into people's lives, it is the whisperings of God to their soul that really changes people; or is the strongest catalyst for lasting change in people.
