Yeah, I can find evidence for both sides of the argument if I look, and can present probably close to 50-100 for each.

However, that's still not going to solve the issue, which is to find out what works best for YOU through experimentation. For me, the lower intensity version works better, no matter what any study says. It may be entirely the OPPOSITE for yourself, (I doubt it), but you never know. This is why one must try both methods to know exactly what each one does. I think your experiment is good for YOU, and you should definitely try. Trying is what it's all about.

It's true that for bodybuilding/fitness purposes, the lower intensity is favored, and for strength athletes and sport-specific athletes, the HIIT type seems to win the vote. I say this from the perspective of a trainer, because that is just "what is" in the real world of these types of athletes. I work with people doing HIIT, but they don't have the same goals as others who are doing a different form of cardio.
