    Your question is unrealistic. The choice between G15 and R9 kicks in BEFORE you know the adds. The choice is often based on what's easier to get for the person, and how to get there, sometimes for a specific add. Some would say, since everyone is so aps freak, it's easier to go G13 daggers, work on tome, then roll G15. Going G13 then back on the rank chain for R9, is a bit of a waste. The raps saving also seems psychologically easier to some. For R9, you can say they will rock more in pvp/tw, where R9 armor will also be a big plus. Also, you will be 100% sure of what you get, adds and sockets.

    All this just to tell you, the choice between both is done BEFORE knowing the adds. I never met anyone aiming for 3 specific adds on G15. Most go for 1 "must have", 1 "either of these" and last could be about anything (on daggers for most that would be : must have -0.05 int, with either GoF/Sacr ***/+20 att lvl, and anything else that comes with it). Basicly your choice is : Get cheaper G15 with a 95% chance of it being less powerfull then R9 but still great, or get R9 for a bit more but know what I'll get.

    Anyone having your G15 daggers already would be totally **** to consider getting R9, just like anyone with R9 would never get some G15 daggers. You can debate for hours, do math all night and go through a multiple scenari simulation to make a global ranking of the 2. The difference will be so small, it won't justify the millions of getting a 2nd weap.

    It's not such a small difference though. R9 is craaaaazy good, like irresponsibly more powerful than the G15 daggers. There's always a higher damage range, always 30 more attack levels, always +10-11 dex, added range, and GoF of course...

    but this is obvious. I for one am getting G15 because A) I have G13 already and almost enough raps B) I like the more individualized feel to the Nirvana daggers rather than some preset Godly add-ons that anyone can buy just by forking over money. I like having worked for something that is unique and interesting and I feel that R9 takes a lot of the flavor out of it. "Cheap" might be a good way to describe it. (But it's not $cheap$ xD)

    That said, I looove running with R9 sins because its just sooooooooooooo OP. So, people who have the money will get R9 over G15 because its simply That much better.

    I still feel that its ruining the game though
