Ito, if i were you, i would gamble for QR.
I had a couple years ago the choice between a job on 737 self funded and a job in the corporate where they paid the typerating for me. I chose the second option and i regret it. Nobody is waiting for a guy with a learjet rating!!! Nowadays is all about marketvalue. If you go for the 1900rating your marketvalue is like the spanish would say" NADA". I think the gamble is worth it.
Good luck
