Feeding mice and rats?

My young snakes are at the point where they can easily eat a large adult mouse, and will outgrow them in the near future. This is the point at which I have some options. I've been debating buying some adult mice as well as some weaned(and possibly small) rats with my next order of feeders. My thought process was that it might be more cost effective to feed 1 rat than 2 or more mice, and I would also get to vary their diet a bit. The overall macro nutrients between mice and rats aren't very different, but they do have different levels of certain minerals. I figure that mixing it up would allow them to get the best of both worlds.

What do you all think?
