darklight ring has 3/3 stats relevant for a healer, the astral has 2/4 stats relevant. Both rings are lvl 70, but the Darklight ring costs 375 Philo tomes total (3.75 WP runs), while the Astral ring costs 2275 Philo tomes (22.7 WP runs), in addition to many other material costs.

The Astral Ring with 2 materia is superior to Darklight, with potential of up to 5 materia is distinctly better than Darklight, however getting a 5 materia Astral Ring with high lvl materia would costs possibly in the ballpark of 2-3 Million Gil+.

I think the answer is pretty clear, 2-3+ million in addition to 23 WP runs for a slightly higher stat ring, or simply 4 WP runs period for a solid ring.
