No it doesn't suck and keep in mind that they are only a 6 point increase over T8 stuff stat wise, meaning that on a slot by slot basis they will not always be an upgrade. As such there will be RNG differences which will show the T8 gear outperforming the T9 stuff. If you are getting consistent differences on target dummies then definitiely do as Fur mentioned above. If you want concrete information on the bonuses of each set then check the EJ forums.
