With the recent buffs to the bow caster would this not just function as a 2nd and possibly better sniper? Or would you be sacrificing said sniper?

Yeah, I see what you're saying, but this is a lore thing. The book Hard Contact says he carried the bowcaster and the DC-17m at the same time. So I don't think it would make sense to clear out the sniper attachment.

SOBDE is built on RP, and giving them a weapon that is arguably okay in most situations when compared to their entire kit isn't gonna break the game. You know how it is since you played him. This is an RP request. I wouldn't just only be using the bowcaster, I'd moreso equip it when I'm dealing with some tanky B2's or an EJ. As Republic Commandos, we play around with the lore and what makes sense of the situation.

From a balancing, and practicality standpoint (synergy can't be die hard lore accurate)

If Darman favorited his long range bowcaster, then 9 times out of 10 he would likely use it over the 17M in Sniper config this way he can quickly swap from range to cqc or mid range. 
This is also going to be used over the 17M Sniper 9 times out of 10 since the bowcaster was recently buffed. 
Adding onto this, Synergy is attempting to clean up entity bloat (with the introduction of the AFK system, and Emote wheels etc) and keeping 2 snipers on 1 character doesn't help this.  

IF it came down to it, would you rather have the DC17M Sniper or the Bowcaster?  

I should note for transparency that this is all my personal questions, not a reflection of the Development teams.  We don't discuss server suggestions until post closure.  
I'm merely asking as a Former Darman myself who was willing to lose the 17M Sniper for it, and someone who balances weapons on server.

I would be willing to let go of the sniper to have the Bowcaster if this were to clean up on entity bloat.

I love the Synergy DEV team, makes me even more excited to be Embo. Question were the 3d scopes for it. Ever fixed?

No sadly. Unfortunately I don't believe it's possible to do this cause 3d scopes, while cool, ultimately sucks
