I really hate those losers who are like, 'well you can't say which piece is harder!  It's all subjective!'.

It's subjective.

hmmm... Unfortunately, yes, it is.
By the way, if you want to start learning one of them, you have to know that both sonatas require high level of technical and musical abilities and it depends on you! You can just try the one you like more! ;)
