I think that black has better winning chances. winning a pawn and getting drawn KN vs KP is no problem for black after Qxf4 and black can also try other ideas. in human game I will try to win with black. The white pawns are not advanced enough to make me afraid of promotion in the near future and I feel sure that in the worst case I can draw by perpetual check and maybe I can win the queen of the opponent after a mistake preventing the opponent to force trading queens is easy.
