I get where you're coming from, and I agree - it seems as though they "nerfed" the Regular version, to make the Plus more enticing... and it does in fact have what looks like the biggest "jump" in stats so far with the fusion-only armors (from month to month). To be fair, though, the increases in stats over time haven't exactly been consistent.

It generally follows a pattern (a gradual increase), but this past February it dropped down by a few hundred stat points before going back up again. Also, the E/A from September (Mistralian Sentinel), had both Reg and Plus, and the Regular version was significantly weaker than the previous ones (much the same as this one), but I believe it's because they screwed up the fusion event earlier in that month for the S/S (Violaceous Greathammer).
