If I had to choose between grammar and kanji studying, I would choose grammar. It is easier to quantify what you know by kanji study, but I don't think it is as rewarding in the long run.

It depends on your goals I guess. I'm back in an area without much interaction with Japanese people, so for me the biggest barrier to full enjoyment of the language is my middling kanji expertise. I want to read more Murakami and others in the original Japanese, but kanji hold me back way more than grammar.
