NX Buyers: 1080P Or Better Detail 720P?

I don't agree at all, I think for instance that Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, which is 720p, looks far better than Smash Bros U, which is 1080p, because of the former's superior shaders and detail.

Smash Bros was limited by the Wii U's lack of memory bandwidth, so it used very simple lighting.

The NX, if Nintendo doesn't seriously goof off with power again, might be able to do proper lighting at 1080p.  

Even if NX has the juice to do Mario Kart 8/Captain Toad graphics at 1080p, the fact remains that rendering in 1080p means drawing twice as many pixels as 720p, which means half as much fillrate for things like shaders. I'd much rather that power be spent on x2 better shaders, effects, etc than the (in my opinion) rather negligible improvement that 1080p offers.
