I want to write the equation for hyperbolic sinh in my document. But I can't find a way which I think looks good. The alternatives I have tried are:
\begin{equation} \label{sinh_eq}
\frac{1}{2}\Bigl(e^{Y_{d,h}}-e^{Y_{d,h}}\Bigr)
\end{equation}
and:
\begin{equation} \label{sinhx_eq}
\frac{e^{Y_{d,h}}-e^{Y_{d,h}}}{2}.
\end{equation}
I have been taught that the first alternative is the right way to write this type of equation, but I think it looks quite bad (1/2 looks too big). The second one looks better imo, but is this a correct way of writing it? For other similar equations in my document I use the first alternative so it would be nice to have the same style.
The equations can be visualized here and here.
I am also attaching pictures below.

size. Of course you're forgetting a minus sign, but it's not relevant for the question. The answer is “do as you think fit”.-
