I have the same issue with a crafted implant, the reversed engineered 216 rating item gave an "Exarch" prefix named recipe that had also a 216 rating and stats instead of 220.
Actually, really, how are they making these decisions...do they have a meeting and analyze the possible influences of what goes in the game ? No ? Is the dev team a skeleton crew now ?
With 10 mil, i would maximize the affection with HK-51, Treek and 2V-R8, gear up Treek and HK-51, also i would keep a good part of it to see what Galactic Strongholds has for us.
