I think the two sets of emphasis aren't incompatible - like you can interpret them as more or less about the same events, theorizing that his motivation is a mixture of concern for humanity and more personal concern for his relationship with Aziraphale in both cases - but that arises more from looking at them side-by-side than from just looking at one or the other.
Although overall, outside of that scene, the importance of free will and the fact that being good is a choice in general are thematically central.
