As far as value goes the Early Church is much more valuable than PC as far as the other cards you get. The Kings cards have very good commons/uncommons like 2Khorses, and the banding heroes. Then you add the tin cards which are awesome if you don't already have them, since you can get cards like AutO, Samuel's Edict, Samuel, Jair, Emp. Vit, and many more than you can add just to the I/J decks to make them so much stronger! Not to mention that you get 5 EC cards compared to 4 PC cards. Plus in the 3 boxes of the PC I've opened I've gotten many more Rares & Ultra-Rares in the EC compared to the PC, plus I've gotten several non-SA cards in the PC and you won't get those (except a purple Kings King Saul) in the EC packs.
