I'd tell that player to pound sand.  If you are a Warlock taking these abilities for their mechanical strength, then deal with having to choose which ones you want.  None of this trying to "double-dip" in mechanical benefit.In both cases the answer is the same-- no, you can't (or shouldn't want to) have both.  Or at the very least... if they want the narrative of having the quasit, but still want the combat invocation... the most I would say would be that's fine, but we will remove almost all of the quasit's abilities except for what a similar animal familiar would get from the normal Find Familiar spell, say like a raven.  If they are good with a quasit whose mechanics are a raven, then they can have both.</blockquote>
