Hmmmm.... I would agree that the first one is more "accurate". It is also very similar to the Kabbalah Tzimtzum.
When I attempt to teach or explain the nature of Reality to others (it never goes well, lol), I feel the second one is a bit more useful. It also gives credence to the power of the darkness (Black) ....pulling us in the opposite direction.
I think the second one may be better for an "introduction", but blending it with the first one gives a more "macrocosmic" perception.
Perhaps the second one is the view of the Creation from below, while the first one is the view of the Creator from above.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
