If we assume that it is ok to allow each voter to decide if he/she will delegate or not, there is still one smaller problem left. If the ballot would contain also option "I will delegate my vote to myself" then both paths would be in a rather similar position. Now those voters that do not want to delegate their vote (to others for further decisions on how the vote will influence the outcome of the election) have more limited choices (only fixed approvals) than those that delegate. Only the delegated votes may make further decisions based on the outcome of the first round and negotiations between the rounds. A voter that does not want to delegate may be interested in active participation in the second round too.
