Do you prefer Phoenix as what was originally intended, as Jean at the peak of her powers, or as the cosmic force it became that wound up getting involved with Jean (to put it in the most basic terms)?
No, it always had to be both. If the Phoenix is just Jean Grey, another Omega-level mutant, the story ends in cosmic oblivion. Even as an Omega, Jean Grey alone can win a battle, but she lacks the cosmic transcendence of Tiphareth to remake the universe in the image of the tree of life.
At the same time, if it is just the Phoenix inhabiting an empty vessel, the narrative collapses into hollow stage play. To borrow the language of my earlier post about Cristological controversies, if there is only a divine nature and no human nature, there is no sacrifice and no salvation. As Claremont understood and Shooter and Busiek failed to grasp, with the clone retcon, you lose the core dramatic arc of a brave woman who grapples with divinity and in the end chooses to die a human.
