Whats your take on sumo stance dead lifts vs conventional dead lifts?

I'm currently doing conventional dead lifts but recently given sumo a go.
Not sure if I should stay with conventional or switch..

Sumo stance: Feels like I'm using less core/lower back strength allowing me to push more weight. Also lets me pull heavy with both palms facing me.

Conventional stance: More strain on my back and any heavy lifts I need to use mixed grip to keep my reps up.

Overall I think my conventional dead lift form is pretty on the dot. That being said I'm always improving and sure I will keep polishing my form. The only problem is I've been stuck at my weight for a while. Mainly because I feel like my backs going to break... I think sumo will allow me to pull more but at a cost of cheating on my form??(Using less lower back, probably wont improve my conventional dead lifts)

Wanted to know what you guys think? Is cutting back on working on my lower back worth being able to up my weight on my lifts?
