There are two rooms and only one key. One key leads to 3-4 things for the player. The other leads to a single item contained in a chest?

The room with 3-4 things always seems like a pretty good deal, as opposed to choosing a chest. After all, how do I know that what is in the chest is worth as much or more than those 3-4 things?

Under what circumstances is it better to choose the mystery chest over the 3-4 rewards? Why would anyone choose the chest instead?

The chest in those rooms is always either a ring, an artifact, or a wand. It's often the better option.

If my run desperately needs a healing potion or sorely lacks a remove curse scroll, I may opt for the knickknack side; otherwise, the sole mystery chest is what I typically choose as it pays off more in the long run.

Chest can frequently have rings and that kind of thing. I like rings, so I always pick the chest.
