Since you have Despair now, using either the Lex or Vasto consider only the playstyle. Despair, Kunai, Haikou, and Acrid are your goto for anything serious, if you don't need sniping.

As for Lex/Vasto; both have relatively close recoil, it shouldn't be a factor. I find Vasto outclasses Lex for one simple reason - mobs either die in one shot... or they don't, and 20 more base damage wont make the mob who required two shots die in one. Vasto will get it's second shot out faster, and vasto won't punish you as hard for missing either the first or second shot since it reloads and fires faster. Vasto also isn't as useless close range for these same reasons.

If I had limited slots, I would sell Lex for Vasto no sweat.

[@2nd poster, no offense, since you did state you've not actually used Vasto - if you can pop off headshots close to medium range a rank 30 Vasto (without potato/formas) will tear thru grineer level 40 and below, Lex simply can't do that.]
