It's a bit unfortunate that I'm firmly in the "Deadlocked is harder" camp, because Theory of Everything 2 is so much more convincing at being the ultimate challenge. Rob struck a brilliant balance between physical and mental intimidation with drastic swings between a bright, stark landscape littered with harsh timings and the more muted memory sections, which are often so overwhelming in their illusions of choice that attempting to traverse them feels futile even well after the correct sequence has been intuited. While practicing, this duality feels impossible to overcome. Once mastered, the two styles provide valuable moments of respite in between each other. It is this requirement of mastering both body and mind that makes Theory of Everything 2 so invigorating to play - every second surviving is a triumph, understanding is a conquest with how cerebral yet aggressive every aspect of the level and its soundtrack are. Probably the last great RobTop level.
