Could you help me with the structure of this sentence?

We tend to remember information that is written in our own words rather than in someone else's words.

I am not sure whether the part that starts with "rather.." is correct.  If I use "instead of..." in place of "rather" it sounds very awkward.  What do you guys think?

Would it still be correct though? What do you think?
