Mechanical Engineering or ECE, which is better?

I'm an ME, and I always found ME classes dealing with machines to be easier than electrical classes. Reason being, I can directly observe work that a machine does, and how it does it. The concepts at hand are more intuitive (these are things you already know, if you take the time to think about it. ME classes just usually throw some equations in to make these concepts more quantifiable). Personal opinion, I'd take the ME class. One of my introductory ME classes was surprisingly fun, we used the school foundry to cast things of our own design in aluminum, and the machine shop to make clocks (which, in the process, taught us how to use every piece of equipment in a machine shop).
