I played the game many times, taking the magicite each time. Then on the last playthrough I did, I finally went with the sword. I was not disappointed. The sword is mightier than the magicite.
Trade it in at the Colisseum to get an even better sword, the Illumina/Lightbringer
Of course I did. What do you take me for, a newbie?

Anyway, I really don't understand the argument that you should go for the magicite because you can steal ragnorak from a final boss. By the time you can do that you've beaten the game. If you're doing a perfect playthrough it makes sense, but otherwise you'll only have it for the bonus stuff. I say take the sword now and get as much use out of it as possible. It's well worth it.
