Would you rather have an 80/80 (contact/power) 50-50 split guy or a 50-50 C/P and 80-80 split guy?

It seems, theoretically, they should be similar as the C/P numbers and splits would cancel each other out, but I doubt that's the case.  Advice/thoughts?

The former will usually generate more RC, the latter will have a higher AVG.

Given equal batting eyes, I'd take the 80/80 contact/power guy. Higher OPS than the 80/80 split guy.

No question I'd take the contact power. 50/50/80/80 isn't anything special.

Their batter's eye is too far apart to make a valid comparison. Thirty points is a pretty big difference.

I think that most would agree the con/pwr guy will generate more total offense, only reason to prefer the other guy - all else being equal - would be if you have a specific need for a table setter.

Too many variables to consider...  Speed is just one of the things that make a difference.
