Marelok and Vaykor Marlok seem better weapons then the Lex Prime. Fire rate and recoil are easier to handle / account for, and the damage is much higher. Accuracy is minimally different between them, but the Marelok's crank out to 6.5k / 20k burst / 11k sustained damage which the which the Lex just can't keep up with (even with the recent +120% 'Bore' mod). Plus if you're with Steel Meridian then you get the 'Justice' boom from Vaykor aswell (+1000 burst damage in radius).

Brakk is fun when they're close, but getting a Vaykor Marelok seems easier then getting all the Brakk components as you have to wait for G3 and then you have to be lucky enough for them to drop a part of it you don't already have. It's sustained and burst DPS is insane though .. if they get close, they're toast.

Lex Prime seems like a fun 'zip' gun given it's firing sound, and the high puncture makes it sweet against Grineer, but if I was tanking up for T3 or 4 then I'd pack Marelok / Vaykor and know I'd own the mission. If you can't lay you're hands on a Brakk then check out the Pyrana.
