That's a dozen dedicated pieces to nearly cap both PDT and MDT and some of those are MDB rather than straight MDT. I feel you are either exaggerating the inventory cost or there's some other component I'm missing here.
If I'm curing I should be using Cure Potency gear, in both of your sets your weapon is taken, that means no melee, no magic acc staff/swords, no cure potency weapon, no nuke staff. As for the rest you still take up spots that I would rather use to cap Cure potency or give me magic acc.

Also in either of these you have absolutely no melee ability because they use staves, while this is not a terrible problem it is something I do not like in my sets, because it is very limiting so far as weapon, where as I can have a cure/nuke/magic acc weapon. Rings are obvious for all jobs, that I wont deny as a good thing, neither will I deny the neck. Going back to the hate thing, if I am for some reason tanking, there is no way possible I am keeping it with me using a staff I have no skill in at all other than from a sub at most.

Your point is that you can cap PDT or MDT easy, yes, most jobs can, but you limit alot of things on RDM by doing so in my opinion, and thats the only problem I have with it, myself I know PDT isn't hard to cap but if you have to lose your power to heal, nuke, land spells, and melee, to do it, what use are you still? You have given up everything to that goal, and I don't see you capping or getting a very high cure, magic acc, or MAB if your using these sets you have, if I'm wrong I'm wrong, I'm an ass.
