Comparing the stat weights in my current gear set up (I went for the chest over the legs from Normal and the neck is my largest upgrade currently):

Legs/Neck = 1986.719

This is about a .18% difference with the weapon ever so slightly in the lead. Considering the Legs and Neck are BiS and the weapon is not, I am highly considering taking the Legs/Neck for the Vit and MDef increases.

Again, this is just how my case worked out so you would have to run the numbers for yourself to see whats best for you.
If tanks wearing Str gear is any indication of Vit requirements...

1989.317/990 tomes = 2.01 weight per tome
1986.719/1200 tomes = 1.65 weight per tome

Just for giggles
