Pretty much ^^
You are correct!
If you really want the AC, neither option is really too hard for the ring if you are 45. Below that is possible but tough in the OOT one, esp if that is your first 45. As mentioned, the regular cyclops that spawns there is the same difficulty as the AC. This is of course easier for some classes than others, but you are typically just dealing with the one mob. The spawn point also has some really low lvl, easy PHs. This is a camp with possibly super long droughts.
By 30's it's possible to kill the one in SRO. This varies by class for the level, but even more for the race to tag the AC when he pops. He has a zone-wide FTE message, so if you tag him, you can then take your time killing him. A pet with SoW is really nice for tagging, but mainly keep your SoW up with your fastest tag (arrow/quick-cast stun/pet/etc). It's really a lot about luck and persistence, which is annoying at one shot to spawn/race per in-game day.
Now! All that said.....
I think that the reason that the J-boots MQ has settled on 5k is that the trouble of doing the AC in either SRO or OOT is generally worth about 5k of peoples' effort/luck elsewhere.
