Reach gives 60% increase for 7 capacity.

Primed Reach gives 165% increase for 14 capacity.

To put that into perspective, Primed Reach provides almost 3 times more benefit for only 2 times the capacity cost, making it not only more effective, but also a more efficient use of your capacity. And it still takes just one mod slot, so there's another boost to efficiency right there.

All of which is to say, Reach should only be used if additional range is your last priority AND you don't have the capacity to fit Primed Reach. (or if you don't have it)

To answer your specific question, 160% range is considerably less than 265%, so the difference will be tangible. However, because Atterax already has a large range, that 60% increase will be pretty big, and may be worth it. Personally, I don't think I would turn down that range increase just because it is less than ideal.
