Which Elizabeth do we prefer? Blanchett or Mirren?

With the coming of "The Golden Age...." its trailer pointed to the terrific contrast between the recent battling Elizabeths. Mirren playing a somewhat giddy, often capricious woman suffering from whim compared to a wooden Blanchett dripping of gravitas and all things dramatic and serious. Who do we prefer vs. who is most real?

I prefer Blanchett in the typical "historical" portrayl as someone you don't take lightly nor even consider mortal. It just fits better with the preconceived notions of history learned from schooling. Although, Mirren's portrayl shows us a "woman" acting as such, I prefer the regalness of Blanchett's queen.

Who else has a take on Liz vs. Elizabeth?
