Personally, I'd rather have the "preview" gone.  It's too visually cluttering.  Finding the time since last activity is a bit harder now.  Yes, I know it's there, but for me at least, it takes more effort to pick it out of the noisy background.  It's also more work now to scan down a page to see what is there.

When the question title is good, there is no need for a preview.

When the question title is bad, it should be fixed.

The first sentence or two of a question don't always give you a good idea what the whole question is about.  Put another way, the first sentence or two is less useful than a good title.  Both together are more noise, not less.
