How Do You Like Your Srms With Artems?

How do you like your Artemis-enhanced SRMs?
First, I was disappointed with my Jenner - upgrading to Artemis did force me to remove 1 SRM4. So I think it won't really be an option for the Jenner for me. It oculd be interesting, however, for the Raven.
A brief test match with the HBK 4SP made me optimistc. The tight grouping helps and seemed to make them before. But that was just one match, more will come. But others may have had more time already to test their SRMs with Artemis - how do you feel about it?

My first run with them was upgrading my HBK-4SPs 2 SRM-6 packs into FCS enhanced packs without dropping them down to 4s, to do this I dropped my Large Laser, and upgraded my two smalls to mediums. I found the change in the spread of my SRMs to be great, I cored a Raven from the back in one burst, and in general brawling with them was a blast.
That said, I was starting to find that I was missing the wider spread when trying to shoot at lights. Maybe if I was a better shot against Lights I would find it a complete upgrade, but right now I am finding that without FCS SRMs are better against lights.
What I did not bother to really analyse was the effect on repair and rearm costs, but did not notice it as being overly harsh. Though for full disclosure, I am running with rearm off, so that might be making a difference.

The change is overshadowed by the huge boost Artemis gives to LRMs though, as it's now much more risky to work your way into close range, and you could instead be using LRMs.

This is garbage to me and I'm starting to get sick of the theme they are creating in this beta, by implementing something in the beta that does not work correctly and needs addons or other things not yet in the game to work right.

But yeah - why anybody would not be driving a LRM boat right now is beyond me.

Because LRMs are about to get put back in their place. Russ Bullock said the new trajectories were a bug and will be hotfixed before the next patch (most likely today or tomorrow).
Why people would feel obliged to deliberately flock and exploit the next "Mech build of the moment" because of a change they introduced in a patch 24 hours ago is beyond me.
I'm not using LRMs because they're borked.
