Blazeborn maxes out at 1654  1459 (3113 total). Redstone+ maxes out at 1501  1316 (2817 total). Big difference there, but it also takes another 29 levels to max out Blazeborn. Blazeborn also only has one weakness, Redstone two.

So it's really up to you to decide if it is worth it or not. But it does seem that the boss+ armors are quickly out-stripping the older epics. Moontide is 1434  1287 (2721 total). Wraithscale+ (same elements) is 1523  1294 (2817 total).
