It will still be better than any tome weapon you can buy without having to set foot in savage.

They also said that i210 step was that long because A4S took a long time to clear. So we can assume that they won't give us more steps that take that much time to complete.
And, I think we can also assume that, comes 4.0, the Anima holders will again have "something" to help them with the next upgradable weapon, even if it's not much.

So, in the long run, I really think doing the Anima is a better choice.
