Doing Rainier Emmons route in late June and looking to upgrade my shell.

I’m between the Rab downpour and the Patagonia Torrentshell 3L. The only difference I can tell is the Rab is 2.5L vs Patagonia being 3L. However, their waterproof rating is very similar on gearlab.

Would 2.5L suffice to save a few bucks or is 3L and absolute must to withstand potential PNW rain?

Thanks
