Ifrit's Claws to Garuda's Talons = 1.38 DPS upgrade. Which is pretty fair, for a Primal fight which isn't very hard and considering it doesn't take much time to get either weapon if you just farm for the weapon exchange item.

Garuda's Talons to Sphairai = 0.98 DPS upgrade. In order to get this upgrade you need to spend millions of gil getting a double meld, weeks farming Hamlet for seals, you need to speed run <17 mins in both AV/CC 3 times, do a behest, caravan, faction leve, get 999 beastcoins (or 500/99 depending on which you choose), kill Ifrit on Extreme mode, and kill Garuda.

Doesn't seem quite right does it?
Stop looking at that one stat.

Sphairai:
MP+70
Evasion+30
Attack Power+60
Refresh+5
Increases Shoulder Tackle damage

Garuda's Talons:
Wind Resistance+15
Accuracy+25
Critical Hit Attack Power+40
Chance to inflict wind damage

Ifrit's Claws:
Fire Resistance+15
Attack Power+30
Chance to inflict fire damage

If you can't see that the Sphairai is DRASTICALLY better, minus 1 whole damage per second, you're insane.

But as stated before, if you don't want to put in the time for these weapons (which are upgradable by the way), you don't have to.
