Classic “Do you prefer dying of cancer or AIDS?” kind of question.
Both are absolutely horrible

Truth spoken. Neither is a car you can look some in the eyes and say "Look at my drop dead gorgeous car. No other car is more stunning for $150,000".

Or which Madonna do you prefer? Eighties Madonna? or Nineties Madonna? Because in the 2000’s I don’t know what she is now…

Chris has the EQS for already an year so his comparison is very competent

Again, none. Never been into Madonna; I'm more of Michael Jackson, a-ha, and specially, George Michael

"BMW’s decision to align the i7 with the standard 7 Series rather than create a standalone EV as Mercedes did with the EQS, was a stroke of genius. Cars like these are often bought to be chauffeured in, and Merc’s loss is BMW’s gain; the i7 is a fantastic luxury car, with a spacious rear cabin and heaps of cutting-edge tech"

As a luxury sedan the i7 currently doesn't have competition.

Snoozefest.
This EQ line by Mercedes-Benz is an utter fail - at least in the fleet market.
An anecdote: a prominent luxury hotel chain dropped a huge EQS order after being invited by BMW to a private previewing of i7 ... Preordering huge number of i7 cars instead ... Will get them delivered in the first i7 production bunch.
MB should have electrified S-class (especially the Maybach version) instead. EQS just isn't perceived as luxury among luxury vehicles fleet buyers. And right now luxury vehicle fleet buyers are hungry for true luxury BEVs - either large luxury sedans or large luxury SUVs. But there are none available as of yet. Ironically the BMW i7 will be the first one offered.

^ Yup, I remember getting panned for stating a simple fact: Mercedes does not offer an electric S-Class - clearly, now, to their detriment.
The S-Class is regal and majestic and, as a result, naturally associated with prestige. The image portrayed by the EQS falls well short of this.

Wo-hooo
Lucid Air, but that car seem to hardly be available.
Yeah, not offering some sort of EV version of the S class made the car near obsolete from day one. As fantastic as the car is (which it is).

I want to see the results of the poll, but I don't want to vote for either because they both suck. 
If I was forced to buy one, It would have to be the EQS. I prefer the i7, but it's simply too gigantic to be practical for every day use without a driver.
