Seducer Set vs. Eyes of Mara Set

First off you should know I'm a Resto Templar. At the risk of sounding like a noob I want to know why I should even bother with the Eyes of Mara Set.

Let me explain:
-the Eyes of Mara Set offers "Reduce the magicka cost of abilities by 3% when wielding a restoration staff" and that requires 5 pieces in the set to get the bonus (it also offers 80 spell resistance at 3 pieces).
-The Seducer set will "reduce the cost of spells by 3%" and that only requires 3 pieces, but at 5 pieces it also gives a leveled magicka recovery with Vr12 being 14.

The way I see it the seducer set, which is much easier to obtain (3 trait research required instead of 8 traits), doesn't require a resto staff in hand to get the bonus and also offers leveled Magicka recovery. Why would I bother with Eyes of Mara? Am I looking at this wrong??

    Only think I see in this is you can benefit from both if you use a resto staff. Eyes of Mara 5 set is way too specific if you ask me tho. The 3 set is whatever too.

    I do agree it's kinda weird. Only use I can see, as already said, would be benefitting from both -3% bonuses but then again that doesn't explain why Eyes of Mara requires 8 traits and Seducer only 3.

    If you could dual wield restoration staff, you could use both! Or is there enough slots already? ( I cannot remember) Lol

    Nop. There are 9 crafted slots, 8 if you use staff.

    I haven't made them yet since I'm currently on vacation, but I'm beginning to the think Eyes of Mara is a waste.
