Agreed. More characters have an emotional investment in the showdown with Cersei than with the Night King. And if there was ever any doubt about what would be resolved first, it was cleared up by late in Season 7.
3 Eps of buildup and battle at Winterfell --> 2 Eps buildup and showdown with Cersei --> 1 Ep wrap-up seems a pretty natural distribution of show time for the final six episodes.
