I've personally used both (and ranked both up to 30, mainly coupled with multishot and hornet strike) and I have to say I prefer the kraken. You're right about the Kraken's rate, it can be difficult to use when there is a large mob and you have to deal with the constant reload. Still, the sheer damage the Kraken can deal (with mods) compared to the Lex is notable. For example, +100% multishot and +120% damage (which is what I used) gives Lex 308 damage (without any additions or reductions besides those stated). For Kraken, it winds up being 396. Now this has damage maxed about half way, and multishot still has room as well. If you plan on fully modding one of these the Kraken is a wiser investment in the long run. It still comes down to your style and what you want though =p, I just really love the kraken. (even the name is awesome to me xD) If you want to know anything about more comparisons you can message me, my IGN is Flytrap.
