It could be both of you!! I would guess that neither of you is in the 'first 
flush of youth', and from birth onwards the light transmission of the lenses 
in our eyes decreases. So by the age of 50 or so, most people have some 
cloudiness and yellowing of their lenses, causing significantly reduced 
light transmission, particularly in the blue.

It would be interesting to see if there is any correlation between age and 
preferred monitor brightness, and between age and preferred white point.

I had my lenses replaced a few years ago. Now I prefer brown-tinted 
sunglasses whereas previously I preferred blue-tints. And I now wear them 
much more than previously. I don't think it is just chance that I use 80 
cd/m2 with my Eizos, in rooms with normal daylight or artificial light. They 
are quite bright enough for me.

Perhaps those of you who like 120 - 150 cd/m2 should see their 
opthalmologists.  ;)
