Even after converting cracked materia, there is the possibility certain gear will see a decrease in effectiveness when compared to Version 1.0.
As of ARR:

Enhancement Cap - Maximum enhancement values will be imposed upon each gear slot.

So that quad meld of +20 (80) - will now be capped. Noone can say what yet as the cap could be set anywhere from 20-80.

But hey, lets have some speculation! Would it be a fair assumption that SE stick it right in the middle around 40-50 ish?
