Dawntrail vs. Stormblood? [possible spoilers]

I am having a hard time deciding in my mind whether I place Stormblood or Dawntrail higher (granted, we've still got Dawntrail patches pending). I might also be forgetting too much about Stormblood, or have Dawntrail too fresh in my mind. So help me make up my mind?

I do have some pointers:

Dawntrail pros:
  • Overall premise is more interesting, personally. I could not care about Ala Mhigans and revolution/patriotic themes do not speak to me. The rite of succession and the subsequent twists seemed more compelling
  • Zones/dungeons and their themes are way more interesting
  • Mamool Ja lore reveal was a genuinely good writing moment
  • Music is more bangin'

Dawntrail cons:
  • Wuk Lamat mentioning peace every 5 seconds and getting way too much spotlight
  • The activities in the zones were way too formulaic. Reaching literally every zone was "ok, let's get to know the locals". Stormblood at least had a more fluid and unpredictable sequence of events
  • Barely any dark/gritty/philosophical writing moments, which we've come to expect after the last 2 stories
  • Despite the FF9 nods, I expected more direct references, and the use of FF9 music felt forced at times
  • The WoL was extremely unimportant to the story. We contributed nothing. I only got that feeling back when I started the Arcadion
  • The high stakes at the end also felt too forced in. I know we need stakes but do we again need something world-ending? (by comparison, Heavensward was very grounded and yet it's my favorite story in the whole game)
  • Despite the cool Mamool Ja reveal, how can the story try to force us to be sympathetic towards Bakool Ja Ja? I understand the need to win, but doing things like insulting Wuk Lamat have nothing to do with that

I am undecided whether I prefer Wuk Lamat over Lyse. If we removed the excessive obsession with peace, Wuk Lamat could've had a MUCH better personally, but alas we do have that and again the excessive spotlight time did not help.

Am I forgetting anything?
