No, there is not a big difference between "with you fine people" and "with fine people like you". The only real difference is that "with fine people like you" is less direct and implies that you may be thinking of fine people other than those who you are talking to while "with you fine people" is more direct and expresses that the people you are talking to are "fine people".
