First, decision between IR/Political Science must be made on the basis of one's own interest, aptitude and past papers including syllabus. You must follow your instincts, because some find IR more interesting and less difficult, while for others same could be difficult, less interesting and time taking.

Whereas, many individuals find Political Science really interesting and easier while for others its the opposite. So, you should do research from past papers and syllabus. And, if you feel you have interest in IR go for it that will allow you to spend less time in the subject and would give better result, you know why?

Second, comparatively, IR is less lengthy then Political Science (check again syllabus of both you will find Political science way more lengthy than you are saying). Plus, it (IR) helps more in your Current Affairs,because of its contemporary portion.
And, IR is more about analysis and generalized view that is why candidate with good analytical skills find it easy. While, political Science is more about theories and memorization (Constitutional/political systems part is all about that)
To me, as you said you find IR interesting then you should opt it. Rest the ball is in your hand.
Hope it helps!
