Getting from Granada to Seville - train or bus?

I know the bus is cheaper and faster, but is the train more scenic, and are the train stations closer to the center of both towns? I noticed the bus station in Granada seems to be on the edge of the central town.

The bus could be considered 'scenic' as you travel past a lot of miles of new empty train track (ha ha). Part of the bus time includes a rest stop at a wayside coffee house. Train is a vehicle and luggage change at Antequara, as the train is still not running all the way through.....a portion is by bus sponsored by Renfe.
I just took the local bus from Granada central core to the main bus station and then didn't have to worry about the rest of it. That being said, I had not twigged to which bus station we would be dropped at in Seville...so I scrambled a bit on logistics from that area of town. It was still easy. There was an Info booth that gave me directions on a map, I walked across the street and caught a tram to where I needed to be.
So decision is yours as to what logistics work for you.
