Replacing Crafted Epics

At some point Raiders will inevitably replace their Crafted Epics. The question I would like your input on is when.
Assume for this discussion you have all i450 Blues except for i476 Chest and Hands and that your only upgrades are the VP set pieces. So at what point do you replace the 2 crafted items?

after you have replaced all your ilvl450 items for VP items ofcourse.
why would anyone replace their higher level gear first if they got far worse items?

Replace what will be your biggest upgrade.
If you are choosing from a blue item of 450 int to upgrade it to a int of 700, or the crafted epic of 600 int to 700 int, go with upgrading the piece that will up grade your stats the most.

The only obvious reasons I can see would be set bonuses, possibly better gem slots and/or
better attributes on.the new pieces.

i450 et al means Item Level 450 not Int 450.

Why would a "raider" even
have
all ilvl450 blues minus crafted items? I think we're suffering from a serious case of missing context, here. Also, what VP set pieces? There are no set items available for VP. Do you mean items that go into the same slots as tier?

Yes I know that. I was talking about looking at the stats you are upgrading.
If you have a item with an ilvl of 476 with 500 int and an item with the ilvl of 483 but only 450 int while would you switch is my point.
Take into account the stats, not just the ilvl.

Dagnabbit! It looks like I had a brain fart. I misremembered about the set bonuses being on the i489's and it blows up a big part of what I wanted to find out (i.e. how important the set bonuses were). Obviously in the case that actually exists (as opposed to the one I that thought existed) it would pretty much come down to whatever gives you the most increase in the attributes that matter to you.
My ultimate question was whether people were skipping buying crafted epics because they would be replaced within a few days as opposed to several weeks. I have found that asking people about what they think about such things directly gives less useful info than asking about what they actually did. YMMV. Thanks for responding.
