I am saying if I am mid tier elite on both and they are offering those fare classes at the same price, I would go for the one with the most miles that benefit me.
So it is not MY decision. It is THEIR decision with the fare earning classes.
(However, If AC was matching CX V fares with a K fare, then I would take AC to play aerolotto and get A3 status faster.)
