Stats for my fire team:
44k power
6 SSR weapon(including soul), 4 SR assaults
Team: Ares, Amaterasu, Heph, Mars

My wind team should be able to get a 4-5k boost if I spend time today farming the weapon xp fodder quests. But my issue is that for my weapon grid, no matter how much I try I'll only be able to hit an average of sl8 for the weapon grid. I have the regalia to grab a soul weapon, but I doubt that would be as strong of a boost as I expect?
On the other hand, my fire team is sitting on an average sl14, and I can get a second copy of herc axe today and LB it to finally get the def down bonus.
Would I still want to spend resources now on my wind team? I am under the assumption because of the lack of power and SLs on my grid, the "elemental advantage" %s are not enough for my wind team to do catch up or perform better than my fire.

Another issue I have is about the hime comp for both teams. I don't have much option for my wind team. Only changes I can think of is: 1) use SR Cybele, use chaos magic on soul. 2) Use Sytry, run SS on soul. I also assume that would mean requiring to drop either Cu Chulainn(dmg) or Isis(tank).
My fire team has more options, I have Yamaraja for affliction immunity, Prometheus for paralyze and orb removal, or Dakki for DATA+Rampage buff and hope to do more damage to boss before I die. I could also buy the MT now to grab Uriel, but I probably won't be able to level+awaken her that easily since I just missed a Sunday.
Who would I use, and who would I drop in both cases?
In my low experience, I would say to go with the fire team, for multiple reasons:
-The elemental advantage is not even close to help with the huge power gap between the two teams. 50% more power is really big, even if you had no eidolon, no assault weapons and no soul weapon, you would still do more damage with the fire damage than with the wind team + elemental advantage. The damage reduction can be useful, however, I believe that you still have much more hp on fire team (and you have a healer with def buffs in the fire team, so...)
-But, of course, you do have both soul weapon, eidolon (both stacks additively with elemental advantage, lowering the comparative advantage it provides) and more assault levels.
-Finally, if you can have a more coherent team with additional tools in fire, added to the advantages above, you should go for it.
