Do you wish to aim for an all fire 40% team? Because if you already have MLB Crom, Crom is the superior Eidolon here (even though her debuff upon summon kinda sucks).
Do you want an all dark 40% team? If so, wait for 4 more events down the line (a 1 month wait) and you'll have a Dullahan (dark element 40%, 20% HP) raid event where you can easily MLB her.

Because at the moment, I see no reason why any new players (in the presence of time shortage) would want to MLB Apocalypse unless you're going for a dual element Dark+Fire team.
An Eidolon with a light element on the other hand... it will literally take around 3 months for another event SSR light element Eido to get here and even THAT Eidolon is much weaker compared to Phoenix in terms of providing raw stat. Sphinx can only provide 30% max light damage increase at MLB just like all the single element Advent Eidolons.
Element Atk =/= Character Element Atk.

Damage formula
( 1 + a + b ) * ( 1 + c ) = x
a = character type boost from eidolons
b = boost from weapon skills
c = element type boost from eidolons

Let's pretend you have 100% damage boost from your weapons.

With 40% character boost (Crom)
(1 + .4 + 1) * (1 + 0)
2.4 * 1 = 2.4
240% damage

With 40% element boost (Apocalypse)
(1 + 0 + 1) * (1 + .4)
2 * 1.4 = 2.8
280% damage

You loss 40% damage using Crom over Apocalypse and that value only gets wider the more you level your weapon skill.
