Plus, it takes a lot of effort to keep crafting stacks of cobble slabs. So the only reason you would use this is if you have an auto cobble farm and you want to double your emc outage. It takes no effort with Auto-Crafting Tables. And I always get an Energy Condenser before Quarries, etc. Cobblestone-Slab Generators are probably one of the most efficient ways to create Diamonds quickly for a new player.
