If I understand the new system correctly, it sounds like we may be better off with upgrade modules, as we can purchase them as needed.
Yes it maybe inconvenient to travel to the tower to get them, but we can still buy them and so leveling up our gear is only limited by the amount of glimmer we have, and we can get glimmer from several sources.
However, if the primary way to get Unstable cores is from dismantling gear that has power, then the amount of gear I can level up at a time will be limited by the amount of high level gear I have that I can dismantle.
So, I am very curious if we can actually purchase Unstable cores (with in game currency) from any vendors?
"...While you’ll find Unstable Cores from a variety of sources, the primary way to acquire them is by dismantling unneeded gear that has Seasonal Bonus Power levels. The higher the Bonus Power of the item you dismantle, the greater the number of Unstable Cores you’ll receive. Likewise, infusing items with a larger difference in Bonus Power levels will take more Unstable Cores."

@Bungie...FYI...I called this issue before the game even launched. There are several other posts in forums about it.
