Self-connect in KUL. Air Asia to Malaysia Airlines. Which flight?

I will be flying out of KUL to LHR towards the end of Feb in business. Flight departs at 23:30.

I will be in Krabi on the day of the departure, and planning to fly to KUL from KBV with Air Asia earlier in the day. I am aware I will have to change terminals and therefore clear immigration. I've excluded Batik Air due to their unreliability and I don't to fly the day before. I understand that there are risks involved.

I'm undecided between 2 flights:

AK867 arriving at KUL at 14:45
AK869 arriving at KUL at 16:55

What would you do? Both allow for plenty of time, but the first one perhaps too much time? What would you do to kill time? Lounges? Cabin hotel? Is a short trip to Kuala Lumpur a bit too much? What about to Putrajaya instead?
