Considering you're willing to go for the lightning variant, you'd have to be crazy to take it down Raw. A maxed raw weapon has the same base damage as its +13 counterpart, but with much worse scaling. There is absolutely no reason to take a weapon down raw in the long run, unless you're unwilling to get chunks to upgrade it further, which you don't seem to be.
