Given that most encounters occur at ranges where Burston Prime is effective, it's very clearly the superior weapon.

Sniping is a niche role in Warframe, and you can do far better than Sybaris.

That said, the fact that Sybaris is a Crit-friendly weapon makes it easy to get up and running (Point Strike and Vital Sense are a bit cheaper overall than stacked elemental damage), and apart from the poor magazine size it's perfectly serviceable.
