Puzzles #561 & #562 - The Compromise and The Uncompromising (Light and Shadow)

Here are two Light and Shadow I made, one compromising on the theme (6 and ? antisymmetry) and one where I didn't (the only white clues being the six 7s in a hexagon). The latter puzzle is probably the best Light and Shadow I've ever made and I put a lot of effort into both finding a novel (to me) break-in with the layout, and ensuring the rest of the fill didn't trivialize it along the way. As often happens, I later found that my start would render the end unworkable, but by tweaking the start slightly in a way that expanded the logic I could affect the later parts to give new options that did end up working out.
