Dude your just starting a fire then getting pissy when it gets hot in the kitchen. You knew it has been debated to death sooooooo..... I say pick one because that's the answer. You asked. I went to the store looking for a rifle I found one I liked in 30-06I said "do you have it in .270?" the guy said "Nope!" I said "O.k. I'll take this one." Like I said how many spirits can dance on aneedle head? While were at it let's compare our left and right thumbs. We're not being rude we're giving our opinion based on our experiences. My opinion is: I sat and sat and sat trying to answer the same question before I realized the answer. Hey, if Calibers of the World considers both calibers equil enough to not make that much of a difference why should we here?
