If you have time to make that second connection, go for it.
However, here in FT, we see lots of complaints that QR changes the aircraft type last minute which would give you the old Business Class seats instead of a Qsuite.
So, it's your own decision. It would be hard to change your award ticket when a last minute aircraft change occurs.
