It also is not a worse version of the turret, it is different. If you just rotated your main arc you would have much fewer option.

This can be better than a turret if you are facing ships with autothrusters.

This is also better than a turret for effects that require things to be in arc, since you now have more things that are in arc. As far as I know, Tactician works in your primary arc and mobile arc.

The only way I can see a mobile primary arc (as the only arc) would be better is that you fire secondary weapons out of that arc, so it might allow those to fire in different locations.
