Default .577 NE or .600 NE double rifle?

If you were to have or build a double rifle, of these 2 calibers which would you chamber it for? and why? Let's assume both would cost the same, and shoot just as accurate as the other. The 600 would weigh a few lbs more.

The .577 shoots a 750gr bullet at around 2000-2100fps
the .600 shoots a 900gr bullet around 1900fps

the .577 was used more during the ivory trade than the .600 which came into existence towards the tail end of it. Which would you want?
