Kinda depends on your list and what you expect to see on the board. Crits don't do anything better against shields, and with one more die, that could be the difference in punshing damage through on a turtled-up ace or knocking that final shield down. It also makes ships like the B-Wing or Firespray (in primary arc only, unless using Scum Kath) a four attack ship at all ranges. YMMV, of course. Mangler is an amazing gun on its own merits.
