I'm not sure if you're tongue in cheek on this, but I think it is different from the scratch question, because getting to shoot again after the break, they could each "get their share" whether it be one or two for Viffer or 5-6 for Alex. But, I'd still say being able to continue would favor Viffer because of the liklihood of what each would get, and how important it would figure towards the end result of the game. i.e, if Viffer got even one or two more balls, he is a long ways home, and one or two seems often likely for him (based on my own Viffer - like level of play (maybe?). Whereas, Alex will probably get more than Viffer would off of a ball made on the break, but would he get 4.5 times what Viffer gets? I don't think so -- its not a wide open table...
Just my 2 cents.
