In limit the variance is significantly worse. Whoever says otherwise is simply wrong.

The variance is larger. That's not the same as worse. IMO, higher variance is better because it is what keeps the games good (bad players run hot and move up; good players bust out or lose their confidence; it makes it harder for people to from their mistakes because the correlation between actions and results is fuzzier).

EDIT: Missed including the word "not" in the second sentence, which is pretty crucial.
