I don't see how E major is a "rarely" used chord. If anything, it's a very common chord.

Dude, just put a capo on the 4th fret, and play C major (open). You should see the family resemblance.

Are you using chords that are rarely used or are you rarely using chords?

Didn't The Moody Blues do an album about this. "In Search of the Rare Chord", or something like that...?

Edit: Sorry that was, "In Search of the Lost Chord".... My bad.....
