Basically you're giving up a mod slot and 47% duration to preserve your range compared to dropping Augur Message and Constitution for Narrow Minded. You're get bigger death explosions on Molecular Prime, but have less Null Stars, both max and on average, as yours will be flying into enemies 12m away rather than 4m. I don't know if you value the Wormhole range, I don't. And then whatever you could fit in the free mod slot. Also, having the extra duration from Narrow Minded would allow you to max your Molecular Prime slow with a single mod slot with Transient Fortitude without feeling the duration hit.

Bottom line is, you can make your powers do everything you need them to do with 3 mod slots: Primed Continuity, Narrow Minded and Transient Fortitude. That leaves 5 slots and an exilus for defenses, augments, utility. With your setup, you lose a slot to get similar duration, and unless you use Umbral Intensify for strenght, you lose another slot to that as well.

With 5 open slots you could go something like Vitality, Primed Flow and Quick Thinking with Pain Treshold in the exilus, Adaptation and STILL have a slot left over for an augment (Molecular Fission being the obvious choice).

For me personally, that's way too much coverage on Molecular Prime, 68 meters. Enemies get slowed 3 rooms away. I redid the forma so I can drop Primed Continuity and play around with mods, current favorites being Rolling Guard and Vigorous Swap, and playing around with the Tek and Synth sets. I think the most powerful option might be Gladiator Finesse though.

I'm not saying this is the best setup and you should use it for sure, just trying to show you what you can do if you free up those mod slots, so you are well informed of exactly what you're giving up for the range that actually works against you on Null Star and has no effect on Antimatter Drop.

And for the record, I totally get chain explosions from Molecular Prime. That's a super good argument for range if you're doing content where that's appropriate. But then you almost want even more of it, right? ;)
