If it was just a trait upgrade, the job would play the same with newer animations and higher potency.

Personally I don't get the disappointment, but to each their own. Everyone wants different stuff and you can only get one outcome.
My issue is the rotation we were told was Solar Bahamut->Bahamut->Solar Bahamut->Phoenix. I personally feel that is a bit too long and forcing Solar Bahamut in twice is an interesting pick for something acquired so late into the game.
