But it is most likely the same either way.

Not exactly. Take your total protection factor after applying your bonuses and mods then divide that number by the level of the mob.
1500*15%/85 = 20.29% chance to block vs a level 85 con mob.
Thus, fighting a lower level con increases the effective block rate where higher cons decrease it.
There is of course a strikethru chance on some creatures that will ignore this block calculation entirely, but it's still a good guide.
