First off, Escape Velocity is an upgrade not a side grade. With the augment, Wormhole provides a buff without losing any of its normal functionality, the augment just allows for a different upgrade path from what can be achieved with other mods.

The real side grade augments are things like Despoil, and Funnel Clouds; where something is taken away and something else is added.
