You are in the majority, preferring the vertical, and liking the light in that one better. Looking at the original prints, I prefer the square one, I think, because of its greater simplicity in structure and design -- the superstructure rising above the RR track in the vertical one seems too fussy for me. The square one has a simpler and more straightforward composition, which I like.
