Then you also got crit which further boosts your DPS AND you can meld 5 materias into it and seeing how easy it is to obtain IV materia might as well meld all grade IV's into the slots. In your situation I'd suggest Accuracy melds though. If you go with only grade IV materia you get 45 Accuracy out of it, which isn't so bad.

Now this is all calculated using bad math. I just used the stat weights and multiplicated them by the amount of substat the gear pieces had. Not sure if that's any right lol. (I also rounded up the numbers because I'm too lazy to get a calculator out)
I myself will keep the 220 chest until I get the Midan Coat of casting.
Are you going with the 1 SS ~= 0.4 INT? No one has proven that to be right, and it sounds waaaaay too much to my ears.
