WI the Kingdom of Saxony dropped Nappy fast enough and Prussia will not gain 2/5 of Saxony at Vienna.
What will Prussia get at Vienna instead and what will happened to the power struggle in the German Confederation until 1866?
You might then however have to find some other territory for the Netherlands or have it frustrated possibly. Furthermore, presuming Prussia got it's OTL Rhineland territories that would mean it largely encircles the Netherlands which could cause problems for the latter.

Luxemburg is a possibility, but it's probably not enough in comparison to 2/5 of Saxony.
I was not only thinking of what is now the country of Luxemburg, but also the Belgian province and possibly part of Liege. It might still not be enough.
As a large part of Dutch Limburg had been Dutch already, I don't think the Prussians would get it, or at least only the parts that used to be Prussian.Well, if you add the Belgian province of Luxemburg and Liege it should be comparable in population and in economic value of the lands (on the long-term, with mining and steel coming, it will be far more valuable). Still, Saxony being closer and protestant the Prussians might still prefer Saxony or parts thereof. I think adding Dutch Limburg and parts of Lorraine should do the trick, though.

All these ideas would make very different situations for Prussia and give a lot of butterflies to think of.
Although I liked most ideas in this thread so far quite well, I would like to toss in another one. If Bavaria gets off a bit worse, the Hohenzollern might get parts of Franconia (esp. Bayreuth/Ansbach) where they had a strong position already prior to 1789.
Maybe the Danes do even worse than OTL, and Prussia gets Holstein.
