You didn't give an option for "Nothing this week, still waiting for my Suros"... Looked really hard at Patience, but didn't bite since I just acquired 2 Legendary sniper rifles this week. If it had been the Ice Breaker, on the other hand...
I just bought a couple Shards to fully upgrade a helmet and Hard Light when the time comes.

Not a bad plan. I just finished remaxing out my ice breaker (now at 331 damage). It's gross. I love it. But I really wanted the Arc Sniper.

I have both P&T and IB. My IB is the 2.0 version and maxxed at 331. But my P&T is the old version, thinking about upgrading for the 17 coins rather than waiting and it costing 7,000 glimmer and 2-exotic shards. I love P&T on nightfalls with Arc burn!

Always upgrade if you have the choice. Cost to upgrade&max: - Upgrade costs: 7,000+ glimmer +2 shards (14 exotic coin equivalent) - Buy new costs: 17 exotic coins +1 shard (7 exotic coin equivalent) = 24 exotic coins (unless you have that many coins and don't want to farm a little glimmer) On top of that the base damage (weapon)/defense&light (armor) of upgrades surpasses old versions, so the only thing you lose is the perks. so its not as bad as we thought (if only Bungie had properly communicated all this to the player base ahead of the DLC) ... still think they should leave the unlocked perks of upgraded exotics unlocked (to encourage upgrading vs. buying new, and reward players who upgraded with a shorter leveling path and a bit less of a glimmer drain), but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

Actually the difference is only 3 coins because you will get the Exotic shard from dissmanteling your original.

Yeah. I struggle through last weeks with my Ice Breaker. But I was able to get through it and make my weekly walk through video. P+T would have made it much easier.
