The i90 crafted gear are extremely good compared to the soldiery, due to the massive amount of skill speed in soldiery. If you have the gil, you can get full crafted left side with penta melds and you'll probably do better than full left side i100 weathered. The i90 crafted helm with the proper penta melds has more dps weight than both i110 pieces with about the same accuracy. If you want to upgrade, then you'll probably upgrade the helm first and then the belt since it's t9 I guess.

If you only need it for t8, then I don't know if I would spend a lot of gil on crafted gear seeing as the gains wouldn't really help that much for your clear. The dps check for t8 is pretty lax if you go 5 dps as long as you get mechanics right.
