This last guy is correct: Primes pretty much only exist (in canon, at least) to be flashier models to make the Orokin happier to be around. The slight buffs they get more or less come with using more expensive parts.

All warframes will eventually get this treatment, even Revenant and Nidus. For that matter- who's to say that the originals we're replicating weren't their primes, initially? After all, we are replicating their blueprints, and if they've survived after the fall of the Orokin empire, who knows what could have happened to them between then and now.
