It's still inferior due to lower crit chance, even with the same build. If you build the Dex for red crits (crit mods + Riven) It ends up with around 10% higher crit chance than the Sybaris Prime, which makes red crits around 10% more likely to occur. Therefore, more damage potential.

If the damage difference between the Dex and the Prime were bigger then it'd actually make a noticeable difference as the Prime has more reliable yellow crit damage, but as it stands the Prime's base damage increase is barely noticeable. There's just no reason to use the Prime at any point before hitting level 150+ enemies if you have the Dex, as anything the Prime can do the Dex can do better just due to its sheer crit and faster reload. It's only after that point where the Prime does significantly better when status comes into proper play and things stop dying in one or two shots, but at that point you have no reason to use a Sybaris over the other late-game viable weapons anyway. Still an option though, I guess.
