I would also argue the Boltors, Sybarises, and Ballisticas are sidegrades, but calling the Skana Prime one to the Prisma Skana is quite the stretch. 7 more dmg =/= 10% additional crit and .5 crit dmg especially if you consider mods like Berserk, Blood Rush, etc. It doesn't even have a similarly higher status chance to show for it; it's only real strength is in the convenience of having 2 additional polarities which can be made up for in the Prisma with 40-60 mins of survival or 10 minutes of hardcore affinity cheesing. It is understandable that the meta has changed things with the addition of new mods, but you should also consider that the Lato Prime was buffed earlier this year in June when before it used to have something like a different dmg distribution and faster fire rate, but lower accuarcy compared to the Vandal.
