Pretenders to the throne held by Henry VII

I was wondering about views on this topic:

Simnel or Warbeck?
- who posed the larger threat?
- how did the pretenders threaten Henry VII himself?

Warbeck may have been a threat for a longer time and may have gained support from foreign powers but Simnel's rebellion actually resulted in battle. Warbeck actually entering England was later in the reign of Henry VII and so he was better prepared and able to effectively deal with the threat imposed.

Thoughts please :p:

Simnel's rebellion by far. He had plenty of foreign support, Martain Swartz (or however it's spelt), Irish support and some local support (he marched to the middle of England unopposed). Also his attempt mirrored Henry's a few years earlier.
