For the record, I think using the tessens and fan tomes as a comparison is unfair; they don't have any stats over 50%. Yes, they can be very strong if built for, but using them as justification for why other things should be 120% total scaling is a bit bonkers. The reason they're as good as they are is largely due to softcaps and being able to scale on more stats, essentially breaking the effective softcap on single stat weapons - and with the Dragon King set raising the softcap on Str, we now have a precedent for future softcap increases.
That said, the Replica weapons are in a weird spot. Their 15% stats contribute almost nothing (4-6 if softcapped) and their 60% isn't enough to carry them on it's own. I think it may be preferable to either give them the Tessen Treatment (40/40/40) or remove one or more stats to make the other ones better, purely so each of the stats can actually do anything.
