I had a game once that went: 

     K E V


     K E V
         O
         X


     K E V
         O(X)
         X U


      (K)
     K E V
       V O(X)
         X U
Of course, had I been enlightened enough at the time to be playing SOWPODS, my opponent would have had the opportunity to break the gridlock with SONOVOX. Therefor SOWPODS is the more strategically challenging variant. QED.
