I guess it depends on what your definition of "better" is. For instance the Mediator is a WAY better springer than the Stryfe ever was 😉

I have both these blasters, and I like them both for different reasons. In my personal opinion, I like the Stryfe better. But it's kind of an unfair comparison. In typical Nerf battles, any time you pit a semi-auto against a pump action blaster, the semi almost always wins on rate of fire alone. I can get off 2 or 3 shots from my Stryfe in the same time I can get a single shot out of my Mediator.

On stealth, the Mediator wins hands down, with or without attachments. Plus, the batteries will never die in your Mediator.

The stock range and FPS are identical, they're both clip compatible, and they both have stock and barrel attachment points, so you can outfit them exactly the way you want. So the choice probably boils down to personal preference. But if you're going to mod your blaster, trust me, go with the Stryfe.
