In "Nature", Vol. 221, 1969, page 538, it lists subsituted phenethylamine derivatives and their potency in units of mescline doses.
The compound, 4-methoxy-phenethylamine, is listed as having a potency of <1, meaning that the compound is hallcengenic but is less potent than mescaline. Whereas the compound, 4-methoxy-amphetamine is 5 times as potnet as mescaline.
Depending on how much trouble you wish to go though one compound might seem more attractive than the other, but I would hypothically try for the less potent compound and try to cut off some difficultly in the chemical procedure.
By the way, wasn't there some discuss a ways back about NaOCl + phenylalanine --> phenlethylamine ?
Tyrosine --> 4-hydroxyl-phenethylamine
4-hydroxyl-phenethylamine + NaOH --> 4-NaO-phenethylamine + H2O
4-NaO-phenethylamine + CH3Cl --> 4-methoxy-phenethylamine + NaCl
