I can tell you that for me it changed a LOT !Well, the problem in this case is that there are stat points that are just objectively superior to others (Skill Speed in particular suffering considerably simply because of the lack of strong TP management skills - once you run out of TP, SkSp does absolutely nothing for you).
Fortunately, the actual amount of difference between each stat is still minute enough that you can easily justify gunning for the cheaper option if you're so inclined.
Funny to see that I was talking about the skill speed problem this morning. Yes, skill speed on my side is more a problem than an help as even with invigorate, since my stuff improved as I earned more skill speed and the result is the TP drop even if I use invigorate at reuse and in really long fights I have to put paeon to grow them back.. Which means -20% damages. *grimaces*
What I meant in my first message (which was totaly not clear, I admit) is you won't see much difference if you keep the same secondary stats from the Animus to the Novus.
Going from your Animus Artemis Accuracy + Skill speed to a Novus Artemis Accuracy + Skill speed will make you feel like having earned nothing in the process. But if you change totaly the secondary stats you will feel the change.
However 1 point doesn't change much.. So swapping just 1 point on your novus with a new scroll feels pointless :o !
And I agree about having 3 stats rather than paying too much IV Materia, I do have a Novus Artemis with 3 stats and it's perfect how it is !

That said, someone did mention upgrading a budget bow and only seeing a single point of crit increase, so be mindful moving forward how the split might work.

Yes, that seems a huge amount of myth needed (as you need a new scroll, so 1500 myth) spent for nothing :/
