Ir IS better. If I understood correctly, after the update, a mod will show all of its stats before upgrading one or more of them.
For example, you get a blue mod with speed and protection. As things are now, you are certain at least one of those stats will get an increase. After the update, a blue mod will get a new stat at level 3 and at level 6, meaning that the increase to existing stats will happen after all secondaries are revealed.
Simpler example. A green mod with a speed secondary meant that speed would go up one time, 100% certain. With new mods, that's not a guarantee. That's why they ask you to "precraft" mods
