The problem is that it depends on your definition of the sample space. In particular if the sample space remains constant.
If your sample space is "all words in the english language, capitalized and uncapitalized", then the second one has more entropy than the first one. But if your sample space is "all characters or runs of characters that appear in the passphrase", the second one has a whole lot less entropy.
