Actually, Soma does better endgame. Ignoring serration and multi shot (because they work equally well for both), 84 damage per round with max crit mods *.6 Armor piercing= 50.4Armor piercing damage per round with the Soma. The Flux Rifle does 20 + .6 =32 Armor piercing damage per round. And the Soma fires rounds 50% faster. So if the enemy has 100% damage reduction (takes no damage from non-AP damage), the Soma will out DPS the flux by a large margin.

This is assuming you have maxed crit mods and 3/4 forma, so you can basically ignore mod costs, and non-base damage and non-AP factors are irrelevant.
