that way the old job's new base AF will be on par with RUN/GEO and it can be developed further from there.
unfortunately many pieces of AF have redundant stats even for a +1 version, but a number of pieces may be unique enough that you wouldn't wanna give it up for a trade-up. then again, its not very hard to re-quest and acquire AF at this point.. so maybe the best course of action is trading up.
