For The Love of Eve: Tech II shouldn't be worse than Tech I

I can't imagine this hasn't been brought up (but the forums aren't always the most search friendly), it's also such an easy fix that I do not understand how this is still an issue.

There are numerous examples of items in game where a higher meta/tech level doesn't actually mean the item is better.

A blatant example is: Meta 4 Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I and Meta 5 Small Energy Neutralizer II.

The attributes are exactly the same for both items, but the tech II//meta 5 item uses more cpu and powergrid. It is literally worse.

There are many examples of this. Eve is already a very complicated game even when the mechanics make sense. I feel that many players just assume (and really they should) that the item meta progression is valid for all items and end up wasting isk buying inferior items and dying and losing more isk and time because they are flying inferior ships.

This just feels sloppy. Please fix!
