My vote is "neither". Neither is required for elk, and I've never owned either. Once the powder charges get much above 60 grains, I stop having fun and start flinching involuntarily. If you are wondering if you've got "enough gun" for elk, I suggest looking into the Cheytac rounds, or the Allen Magnums from 7mm, shooting 160gr Accubonds at 3550, or 200gr bullets at 3300, on up to the REALLY ENOUGH versions.
