1) can't argue with that

2) I know you don't spend emc to pump them, but the capital investment of resources (typically measured in emc) is very high relative to a simple central pumping system

3) Even if you can use panels to pump out of the flower with the back sections filled, you still need a direct line to the condenser on either side, which will cost you one antimatter relay and one energy collector per flower - the relay being the important part there, you lose a good chunk of bonus emc

4) All condenseable items are free to swap between whatever form you want.  It costs you nothing to trade down from redmatter to dark matter, or from klein stars to red matter. It just gives you better emc compression to store them in larger units, so you wont fill your chest so easily. Granted klein stars arent stackable, but you can store almost 3.5x the emc in a chest of redmatter than in a chest of dark matter, and if you go a level or 2 up in klein stars your storage efficiency is even greater.  If you split it down one order of magnitude at a time (ie break up RM into DM, then one DM into diamonds, then one diamond into stone bricks or w/e) it won't produce an excessive amount of anything and you can store those smaller emc item for later use or just recondense them up the chain.
