As others said several pieces all ready have the maximum amount of Tenacity on them while others only need 1 Tier VIII Materia to cap Tenacity. The Edengrace Tassets, Edengrace Trousers, Augmented Deepshadow Sollerets, Augmented Deepshadow Bracelet, and Edengrace Ring are all capped on Tenacity and so have 2 free Materia Slots. The Edengrace Earrings, Augmented Deepshadow Necklace and Augmented Deep Shadow Ring all can cap Tenacity with 1 Battledance VIII each leaving one empty slot.

The Mnimized Tenacity build also has almost 200 more stat points. Clearly a skewed calculation.
The gap is actually 121. The secondary stat caps on the highest Tenacity pieces cause the Head, Hands, Ears, Neck and one of the Rings to lose loose out on a total of 85 secondary stat when fully melded with Battledance materia. The remaining 36 secondary stat was from a typo where I post 740 SkS instead of 704 SkS.
