Vanquisher VIII - The best AR that nobody talks about? (Destiny)

A few days ago, I decided to look through the weapons for sale at the New Monarchy vendor. I spotted the Vanquisher VIII and decided to look at its specific perk roll:

First of all, look at the perks:

* Spray and Play (faster reloads when the clip is empty)
* Fitted Stock (better stability, on top of the already-decent base stability)
* Glass Half Full (bottom half of the clip does bonus damage).

2nd of all, LOOK AT THE IMPACT RATING.

That's roughly as high as Suros Regime, which hits substantially harder than the majority of Auto Rifles in Destiny.

On paper, this looks like a beast of an AR for PvE. Has anyone out there actually purchased this specific version, with this combo of perks? I'm thinking of taking the plunge and buying it, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has actually used it.

Thanks!
