It seems to me that a lot of the IC2 tools and armors have a competitor within EE, and it's a little hard for people starting out to decide whether to make an electric jetpack or Swiftwolf's Rending Gale. I'm more of an EE guy, so I'd personally make a Gale but that's because I learned about EE first. I'd like to see some differing opinions discussing the pros and cons of and differences between certain competing tools and armors, some of which I'll list below.

Jetpack vs. Electric Jetpack vs. Swiftwolf vs. Gem Armor

Quantum vs. Gem Armor

Dark Matter/ Red Matter tools vs. Chainsaw, Mining Drill etc.

Macerator/Furnace Combo vs. DM/Rm Furnace

Nano vs. Diamond vs. DM armor

Enchanted Diamond tools vs. DM tools

Batpack/LapPack vs. Solar helmet & static boots

There are probably a lot more, but these are just a few things I'd like to get the full story on and implement into the wiki pages for these items. It would be a big help to have a section labled "Jetpack vs. Electric Jetpack" on the Jetpack and electric jetpack pages, and so on for all the other items. If there are any other "comptetions" going on, please feel free to mention them, and of course go ahead and say what your favorite is, but please explain your choice. Have a nice day!
