When excellent is better than splendid?

I don't think that works with lanterns, because they don't require any kind of ID and don't get autoinscribed. If you ignore them they disappear as soon as you see them. Shots you need to pick up or at least ID to see what they are.

Haven't tested that though, but that's how it works with books.

That makes sense. Plus, on further reflection now that I've had some sleep, one should never "ignore" lanterns until one is ready to ignore ALL lanterns. If you are interested in True Seeing only, that's fine, but you want those other lanterns around as sources of fuel. Far more fuel in a lantern than a flask of oil.

They both have 7500 turns in them, but it's still worth not squelching either since you really don't want to run out of light.

Not really. It's quite common to have the phial but still have some utility out of Lanterns of True Sight. In that case I have no interest in oil until I actually find the true sight lantern, at which point I might adjust.
