The thing is, this does 250 damage and Dread/Paris Prime only do 200. But they can go over 100% crit chance. With Point Strike and Vital Sense the bows now have all their damage multiplied by at least 4.4x. Serration/Split Chamber/Elemental Mods etc. will go on both weapons and nothing the Miter can put in those last two slots will increase its damage anwhere near as much as the crit mods do for the bows. So once they're fully modded it's not really the highest damage charge weapon, is it? In fact putting basic builds into Warframe Builder quickly the Dread does ~22k damage per charged shot and the Miter does ~9k. And that's with the Miter having Heavy Calibur on it while the Dread doesn't. So yes the bows are chosen because of crits. Crits make a massive difference.

20 round mag? The bows never need to reload, they have a 72 round mag. And this thing takes twice as long to charge each shot and is loud instead of silent. So... the bows are a lot better. Sorry.
