For me, this is an obvious must given the effort you have to put in just to get the weapon, and custom stats pretty much seals that deal.

My Zeta weapon easily outclassed the equivalent Dreadwyrm weapon because of the stats I chose. It took a lot of thought and calculation to figure out which stats I would take the most advantage of with Dread/Aug Ironworks gear, and the materia costs I needed to get the stats I wanted was astronomical, but once I had it all figured out there was no comparison to the Dread weapon. It was especially noticeable for when I was playing with other tanks. It was adorable to watch someone in full Dread set trying to hold aggro against my Zeta.

That being said, my weapon was almost too powerful sometimes. I often stole aggro by accident while in Sword Oath when playing with average geared tanks. I'd end up Main Tanking in SO a lot of the time, even though I hadn't been the tank that started the fight. It wasn't a huge deal in most fights, but some Tank swap mechanics got a little annoying to work around.
