I don't like it either... (Destiny)

Are you aware that points into stats has less and less effect the higher your level? If you are above level 26 or so, the difference of a few points is so insignificant it can be ignored. Your example of five discipline is really really tiny and you won't notice, guaranteed.

Don't worry about it.

Yes, I'm aware. At level 20 or above, you need about 270 to reach 100% bonus on any stat.

I don't know what the max and min are for each piece, so it is probably more than 5. Add up those differences between 2 stats on 4 armour pieces and over a level or a match it's quite a few extra grenades and supers.

I've been doing a bit of research over the last couple of days by inspecting other players in the tower. I've seen:

• Achlyopage Symbiote vary between 98 and 110 Discipline (12 points), both fully upgraded
  
• Mask of the Third Man vary between 93 and 117 Intellect (24 points), fully upgraded
  
• A un-upgraded Crest of Alpha Lupi with 7 more Strength than another fully upgraded one
  
• Fully upgraded Prime Zealot Cuircass total stat points vary by 14 points (one was split between Int/Dis, the other was all Str)

Hard to say more without more data.

From the strategy guide:

...if you really want to maximise your power, you can most certainly hunt for "perfect" armour.

I'm gonna keep a look out for this stuff. :)
