Almost identical. It's a question about being evolutionary vs. revolutionary, when fixing a leak. My preference would be to fix the leak as simple as possible, without changing any logic.

I did the opposite, and I will send it out as a v2 after testing. But, I didn't like it. Fewer lines, yes, but more complexity.
