Honestly, I can't. :-) Calenhed makes good points, but I've stomped a rivenen Tib Prime with my unrivened Tenora. :-) Six forma, sure, but there's nothing really between full auto and a charged shot semi, that makes the tradeoffs worthwhile. I've gone from Tib P to Burst P, Buzzlok, Nagataka, Latron, Lat P, Dera, Dera V, even a Dex Sybaris. If you want full auto to handle trash, and semi auto to handle tanky targets, it's better to go with the Tenora.

The Tib/Tenora test was done in the sim, with me and my Tenora against a guy with a rivened Tib P, vs I think eight 100 or 155 Heavy enemies each. While he plodded through them one at a time, I just aimed for the neck of one with a 0.8 sec Charged Tenora shot. I was lower than my target, and had 1.0 innate Punch Through. Before Crits and the damage bump of the Tenora's charged shot, I do 318.0 I, 954.0 P, 318.0 S, and 2862 Corrosive....I cut through about four of the Heavies on my first shot, two more on my second before I realized I was in a race, and dropped the last two with my third. 2.4 seconds, to kill eight Heavies. My opponent was going through a mag change and still had two more to go.

I'm not saying the Strad P is worthless, but for reasons I don't get, when you put the Tenora against other multi-role rifles, it edges out on damage. It's not perfect, but of the JOAT style primaries, I think it's the best.
