Cobalt Claws 117 3.2 36.56 Attack Power : +8
Sphairai 143 3.4 42.06 Attack Power : +60, Refresh : +5, MP : +70
Difference - 26 DS * 5.5 DPS * 52 AP
So AA 22% - WS 13.75% - AP 8.5% to both AA and WS
for a total of 30% greater AA Damge - 22.25% Greater WS Damage - Before capping stats
After Capping the stats - It seems kind of high, but... 50% Greater AA - 42% Greater WS Damage
***Disclaimer -- This is mainly theory based on stat testing. Use at your own risk
^ Anyone with a Sphairai want to test this? -Cobalt Claws at or below stat caps VS Sphairai, using the same gear.

Garuda's Spine 71DS - 3.1 Delay - 40.97 DPS
Flame Lieutenant's Bow 109DS - 4.1- Delay - 40.24 DPS - 30 Attack
DS Difference of 38 or 32% + Attack 30 (~5%) Total 37%
90 Second Comparison
Garuda 29 attacks + 10 For Barrage - 39Total
Flame LT 22 + 10 for Barrage - 32 Total
Flame LT 82% @ 37% more damage so 112% (12% More than Garuda)
So the Flame LT Bow should do ~12% more AA + Barrage Damage than Garuda at the same Stats (DEX/PIE) within a 90 second period
Not that it will make a huge difference because WS>AA damage. - so maybe 5% Overall
Since Garuda should do ~4% more damage overall with WS's it's pretty even
