Who in their right mind would pay money or certs for the VA23 Phantom? In the ripped stats, it has literally has the same exact statistics as the (default) VA39 Spectre, only the Phantom has a 1 second longer reload time overall.

Why is the Spectre the default instead of the Phantom? Seems severely counter-intuitive to ask for money or certs for something less functional than standard kit.
