Your prot gear in the same slot is the lowest ilvl of all of the items you're considering, and you'd also get a new set bonus from that.
Going on only the information you've given us, completely out of context of everything else about you as a raider, I'd say go with the prot legs.
But a good question to ask yourself before you decide is which piece you're more likely to find upgrades for. If your guild is doing progression raids through ulduar now (I'll assume so now that you're getting your hands on 7.5) it's safe to assume you'll be going there on your absolute best spec, gear and skill wise. If your guild takes main spec rolls over offspec rolls, the first piece you're going to be likely to replace is probably going to be holy. So because of that, maybe don't buy the holy chest, since it's most likely to be replaced. If all of what I just said
is
true about your situation, the next question to ask yourself is what am I going to get more use out of. Do you frequently tank or DPS your guild's farm runs? Which do you enjoy more? Which do you typically pug with? When you go ret, are you more likely to go PvP or PvE? If it's PvP, do you have gear designed for that already?
TL;DR: T7.5 doesn't do you any good if either a) you're going to replace it in a couple of days through progression raiding or b) it's going to sit in your bank because you bought the gear for your least favorite spec.

If you're getting bored of healing, I wouldn't spend the token on that. You'll probably end up putting aside healing for a while, and since holy paladins are the only class/spec in the game that can use spell power plate, you'll probably have a few opportunities to pick up off-spec pieces while you raid in other specs. I'd say spend it on your second favorite, at this point. I bet that's what you'll end up doing more and more as you get more and more bored of healing.

That's your 10m upgrade to your holy chest.
I was told that chest is a piece of crap. It has less spell power and no crit. Only gains really are mp5 and more intellect. I lose haste, crit, and spell power + a good socket with +4 haste.
Comparing both chest pieces (using my own weights admittedly because the WoWhead ones are wrong)
Though mine is by no means perfect either.
