Faster or better?

[Rexos]

It's 1556 and I need some Iranian Culture group land(yeah for the Mughals), but right now I can only no CB Baluchistan or Timurids and I need a lot of provinces, plus that CB, half of the world(damn Sunnis) will be against me, but I could form Mughals before 1600 or even earlier

Or....

I could do some little wars to take 3 provinces from 3 nations and be able to make a claim on Baluchi or tim(reducing a lot of AE), while picking Influence and mixing it with my national ideas and reaching -30% AE.......but this would take 10 years to be generous without the war

I know the second one would be better for tons of reason, but doing things faster is also a good option
Now, tell what you think

I helps if we know what nation you're playing

general rule: early Mughals best Mughals.

Sure, that's what I think too, but I'm also scared of the massive AE I'll get after
