There's maybe not a perfect answer to this question (a lot of it is down to personal preference really), but what you've written here is certainly a good answer to it!
As you've laid out here, both cities have their merits and drawbacks really. I think a lot of people's responses to this question are based on superficial visits or stereotypes, rather than actual lived experience. That said, once you've gotten used to the lifestyle in one, I think it becomes harder to adjust to the other - perhaps more so than moving between/to other cities, say, Shanghai to Chengdu.
Thank you for sharing your perspectives on the two very different major cities in China. I’ve only been to shanghai and a friend of mine has went to Beijing. We have also been discussing which is better too.
With this platform, I guess it all boils down to what you’re looking for. Each has their own pie of supporters.

Beijing any day, except it's too cold. The locals are more friendly too.
