Haha, sorry no, it is legit. If it makes you feel better, my only SSR eidolons are Takemikazuchi.... twice. Would much rather have something befitting a different element. And until I got Sol, who admittedly is apparently one of the best SSRs, I had nothing. There's a long list of things I wish I knew back when I started, and as a result I've wasted a bunch (holy crap, I got rid of like 5 'extra' Fire Assault weapons back during the crom event), but as you've rightly noticed, with Acala and Sol i'll definitely be ok.
