Lanka will do better vs one target and scale better against grineer and corpus. Miter will do better against clumped mobs - mainly light infested - and not scale as well against corpus and grineer (due to lower base damage). In my opinion, Lanka is still going to be king of the sniper class if you are looking for general purpose use. Miter, as it currently is built, seems like a light infested specialty weapon.

For example, against grineer, you are not going to see them clump up as much to make use of the pass through target effect. Additionally, what is most effective against them on both these weapons is your armor piercing mod value. Well, with Lanka it is based off a 250 base damage instead of 150 with the Miter and the Mod will be a percentage of that base value. So, you get my meaning. Same could be said with electricity mods and corpus. Base damage value is very very important and Lanka's is 100 higher. It also has a higher fire rate.

The only thing that allows Miter to catch up, especially considering how slow it is, is being in situations where you are hitting multiple mobs at once on a consistent basis (or maybe using Mags bullet attractor).

Just my opinion.
