Havanah and kavvanah are not necessarily identical.

Also in the mix would be lishmah.

Many is the mispallel lost in tears over the words of a tefillah he
only understands a one line summary of (or only knows the tune!).
In contrast to the master of Hebrew who has something else on his mind.
One has more kavanah, the other more havanah, no?

And both are davening lesheim mitzvah.

Just thinking out loud from first principles...

Tir'u baTov!
