As I indicated, it's hard to say what will be the better option because there is most definitely an element of taste in what, and how much, acoustic treatment different people like.One thing I have found from experience, though, is that it's hard to deal with openings on one side of the room by putting something in them. I've never come up with something that went anywhere near the reflectivity of the bare wall opposite, and that does unbalance things. On the other hand, using absorption on the wall opposite has always been more successful for me.
I suspect that the Redirector is probably a bit more solid and substantial than anything I've tried putting in an opening so it would probably work a bit better than any of my efforts. I still think you're going to have to do something similar on the other side, however, but as I said, you will probably be able to get away with treating a smaller area there. The first reflection point will be the most critical area but only experience will tell you how much you need to cover.
I also think that a combination of treatments is always likely to be better than only one or two. In my room I use a combination of DIY bass traps, absorption from heavy drapes with acoustical liners and lots and lots of books, and diffusion from heavily modified DIY room lenses. Each of those 3 things is doing something different and they all contribute to the overall result.
