During twen I tested out the lp 40 perf for a day instead of my at the time lr-40 fen.(sold in late November for 36.5k)
I won’t talk about the eff/dpp but I was killing troopers and I was cycling about 20-35% less due to having to run more, resto more, less dps.
So although I was killing troopers cheaper and still getting really good twen tokens, it was so difficult to compete with the 3-5 other people hunting troopers at the time.
That lower cycle over those 2 days alone cost me an easy 300-400p mark up in JUST tokens.
Now I’m just telling this story because I’m taking a bath, but the flexibility of the extra range and dps on even lr-40 vs lp-40 was enough for me personally to not like the weapon too much.
Due to range, less cycle, less mobs I could kill, WAY more armor decay due to multiple troopers getting on me due to their aggro range, thus taking more damage, thus healing more.
Even for me and my casual loot 2.0 play style, I felt like at such a crucial ped making time, I was wasting so much of it.
Luckily now I have the best of both worlds, 94.8% eff unamped, 92.7 mid amp and 90% hc204.
So if I got my gun for 60-61k ABs I KNOW what the other 2 owners paid for their (they purchased from vendor less than 24 hours after me)
Then lp40 perf HAS to be less than 60k
And then figure i2870 twen would have cost me 44-46k at the time, (literally lp40 perf but more dps).
I think that says a lot
