ok i have looked it over and over asked a few corp mates in game and no real answer ...what makes having a tech 2 cap booster any better then the meta 4 i see no modifier or bonus to cap gained on it or the 800 cap ammo am i missing something important cause all im seeing is using more ship cpu/powergrid for nothing

Higher capacity?

More available/affordable? (This is a guess, but it's the normal answer when comparing Tech 2 and meta 4)

Not all tech 2s are better than meta 4s. Just look at the armor plates.

Higher damage/effectiveness > +5% fitting requirements.

IIRC, a T2 medium capacitor booster can hold three navy 400 charges per reload. Meta-4 is stuck with 2.
