At a rate much higher than...

[nyggus]

I see that "at a rate much higher" is used, although "at a much higher rate" is more common. Are both equally correct? For example, consider:

"Component A occurs at a rate much higher than Component B."
versus
"Component A occurs at a much higher rate than Component B."

Thanks,
