Well, not to add to your dilemma, but I MUCH prefer the first one!
I think it provides a lovely lush context for the falls. The composition is better balanced (though the falls is more centered, the whole landscape is more majestic and stunning).
Also, when I looked carefully, the second, closer one shows more quality issues, perhaps because it is larger here, or perhaps its oversharpened slightly. I think the textures of the greenery on the farther view are fantastic.
