When shopping for one I noticed they all have about -50 at all ranges. I believe this is a base stat, so that being said does it really pay to buy one when my Lance (I believe its sliced) does about the same damage and is faster w/ less HAM costs? The only plus I saw was that the Long Vibro Lance I believe had Medium Armor piercing. Are there any out there with + modifiers on range?

long vibro lances have LIGHT armor piercing, long vibro axes have medium. HAM is high whatever u use. As for range mods...since the patch, the LVA range mods have changed to -30ish and the VL can get just into the positives on range mods, at a cost to dmg/speed. Think high dmg ones have about -5 range mods. I dont know much about VLs, dont use em, they suck really (for me). Get urself a nice LVA, -30ish range mods and a great dmg slice....that from personal experiance anywayz...hop it helps

The new range mods after the patch make them much nicer. I switch between the LVA and the VL depending on the resistances (if any) of the creature I am fighting. LVA does kinetic while the VL does electricity damage.
I have a pair of each type, one pair sliced for speed and one pair for damage. I use my 2.6 speed VL to quickly apply my specials like dizzy/stun/KD at the beginning of combat, then switch to the slower, more powerful weapon for auto-attack. That works pretty good for me.
