Actually, I strongly favour Balmung yet tell people to try both. The people in the middle aren't the ones advocating the "try both" option; the people who have already made their decisions are. The choice is such a poignant one that I think some of us have recognized that we should not even try to sway those undecided, as much as we might want to. Those undecided should try both; they should do research; they should make their own decision in the end because it is a decision they themselves will have to deal with.
It's like my students who ask me which of two colleges they should pick. Typically the two colleges are of equal measure, both equally fantastic, both full of opportunities, both well-suited for the student. I should not make that choice; their parents should not make that choice; the student must make that choice. Why? Because I'm not the one going to their college and neither is their parents. We're not the ones who have to live with that decision for the rest of our lives, they are. We can guide them when asked, help them find the research and resources they need for better understanding, but leave it to them in the end to make that call.
Same principle here.
