540p 60fps, or 720p 30fps for public version? (Patreon)

Hey!
Link to two examples (Please look at these before voting!)
I've been considering doing the public versions of Diminishment with 540p 60fps videos, so it's faster and easier to do the builds between version updates for the various platforms. 720p 30fps is also a bit more cumbersome, since I can't change the frame rate inside unity, only the resolution.
Now I'm sure you're wondering why not just go for 720p 60fps on all platforms? Well, that will require more from the player's pc. The video player component isn't exactly perfect, and I don't want to have to deal with multiple public releases per platform for people with older PCs. Even with unity's cache server, switching between platforms is a chore, and will get increasingly more bothersome the bigger the game gets. Which is why the public Linux version and android has been released at 540p up to this point as well. And now I'm considering adding the PC version to the same bunch. Well the patron linux version is 540p as well though, since for whatever reason h264 refuses to work when running the unity videoplayer on linux.
Having all the platforms at the same res & frame rate for the public release would save some time for me, so I'm obviously a bit biased. But personally I know I'd prefer the smoother frame rate, but what do you think?
This poll is for all patrons, since it mainly is relevant for the people not in tier 10$ or above.
Public recordings will continue to be released at 720p 30fps, same as before, either way.
