Hm I know you're trying to end the debate, but I don't agree with some of those statements :s.

"Paris is much better than Dread at low levels because you don't need any mods to make it do good damage to armored targets."

I assume by low levels you mean low weapon rank? Well, if you were using it on the appropriate missions, i.e. low level missions, armor isn't going to reduce damage by much. Dread will likely still do more damage due to its higher base damage and crit damage. If you're considering high level, high armored targets, then I would question why you're using a low level bow there.

"If you like a weapon that works equally as well at all levels, and against all enemy types, as well as if you have not-so-great aim, the Paris is for you. If you are good at aiming for weak spots and are willing to put in some effort and mod it right, the Dread is for you."

I already addressed the level thing up there. As for all enemy types, if you look at the faction metascores below, you'll see Dread does more damage on average to all enemy types than Paris. Finally, if you look at the DPS comparison I posted below on Heavy Gunner and Ancient, Dread out-damages Paris even on body shots. That means you don't need to aim with Dread. Additionally, because of Dread's two V polarities, it doesn't require much extra effort to mod it right (especially compared to Paris).
