A kindness of ravens

Recently I acquired a Dazed Raven adviser on a whim, however I soon discovered that he can be enhanced via opportunity card. However the card in question provides two different options for raising the bird; one a watchful/persuasive route, the other a mostly shadowy affair. My question is, Stat boosts aside, are there any benefits for choosing one path over the other? Is one more profitable/better considering the items needed to raise the bird?
(Note: I already have a plethora of pets for shadowy, persuasive, and watchful-so I am mostly looking for secondary effects)

Yeah, unfortunately there aren't any benefits to having the birds. I got both of them back when the Devious Raven Advisor was the best Shadowy pet in the game, and I didn't have an Overgoat at the time so the Mystic Raven Advisor was pretty nice. Now they're both outclassed by the Scuttering Squad, but 1 point doesn't justify 500 echoes so I'm sticking with my raven and tigress.

You can buy them from the Bazaar in the Crawcase Cryptics store. They're 62.50 echoes each.

There are, if the wiki is to be believed, no benefits for acquiring either of it's evolution lines aside from the stat boosts. so if you don't want it for that, you don't want it for anything aside from collection.

I will accept all social actions that do not consume free evenings- and i will provide patronage to anyone who requests it, though it will be split between all requesters.
On psudeo-hiatus. Will be inactive and active and fluctuate without warning.
