Stack Rarity Or Quantity?

My gear allows me to do one of the following:

1) 75%Q + 50%R
2) 60%Q + 65%R

Pretty much trading 15%Q for 15%R.
Which one would you take? And why?

Quantity's way better, not sure if 3x better though.
I figured it was better, but my shadow only gets Item Rarity as reward options throughout the whole game. :(

Thing is, rarity gives:

1) Higher chance for me to find Lioneye's/Shavronne's/Kaom's/Marohi/Taryn's/etc (each worth 10-30 Exalted).
2) More rares to vendor for Chaos Orbs.

But a 5-6L base item would be easier to chance & scour than getting the unique and trying to link it, right?

Quantity is weighted much higher than Rarity in the end, but group bonus cuts into that a little. If you group/multibox all the time, count IIR a little bit better.

With how IIR scales though, I would give up a lot of IIR for a little bit extra IIQ. Max IIQ helps more than max IIR.
