If memory serves, Relic+1 is 900 ToMs and the AF2 chest is 825, helm somewhere around 300. Thus, you take an extra week get two level 90's while everyone else will have one level 90 with ilevel 70 gear. Seems like a bad choice to me.

EDIT:

Holy crap, totally wrong numbers - fixed.
Raw stats dont compare to the actual magical damage of a +1 relic. 1 stat in magical damage is, if I remember reading right, 7-10 in ones main stat. This means that the +1 will beat the AF1 Chest unless they're wearing Loyalists Bliaud or something. :P

So on paper it does seem like the body will add more healing, but in reality it usually doesn't.
