@ATKH Nah, Barion LS never outclass Avant LS at all the only LS that match his is Maxwell LS. Lets be honest Boost BB dmg, Spark and Crit and 50% HP boost is a better LS than what Barion have. What you mention about about defense is true, but think about it when are we ever going to use Barion's LS in harder content (Crit immunity). I would rather still use Avant in harder content since even if lower defense but better and more consistent dmg output with Spark and BB dmg.

The most likely scenario anyone would be using Barion's LS is one FH/FG (vulnerable to crit). In that case Avant's LS is still soo much more superior than Barion. What I'm saying is that, is true Barion give better defense on LS, but since he is a little crit based.. His LS wouldn't be use on Hard content and only FG/FH, which still wouldn't outclass Avant in anyway.

HOWEVER, Barion is certainly much better as a sub unit in harder content rather than Avant, especially if you take the iSBB and Spark dmg SP. and that is my opinion so don't get triggered.
