...which is exactly my point. "Powerful" == "Worth more than the cost",
"inferior" == "worth less than the cost". I don't care how powerful 
something is in a man-for-man, ship-for-ship or pound-for-pound 
comparison. It's point-for-point that counts. Your Death Star isn't 
"poweful", gameswise, even if it can destroy a solar system if it costs 
so much I can field two solar systems against it.

As they don't have a points value, any comparison is pretty moot (unless

it aims at determining a point value), IMHO.

Do we really? Anyone else? Opinions?

Is GW really right assuming everyone deep down just wants a bigger gun?

Given a choice of playing either of two technically equally powerful 
groups, one a vanilla rifle platoon and one a power armor squad decked 
out with the latest neato gadgets and ultra-cool widgets, led by the 
hot-off-the-press MegaCharacter Of The Month, which would you play?

Personally, I'd take the rifle platoon most of the time.
