I think there's a third position, the one I hold: I've zero interest in LARP'ing or "acting" my role, but also zero interest in crunchy stats-heavy combat. I prefer light adventures with fast paced combat where not every fart is regulated by a chart. A Frostgrave level of complexity is about right for me; or Risus. I do find narrative experimental games such as Trophy Dark appealing, but they may require too much from players.
